Under the Quote column, you will provide a quote that you think best represents that rhetorical appeal. Under the Explanation column, you will explain how that quote used that rhetorical appeal to strengthen his persuasive argument.

Answer and Explanation:

Quote: "The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world. "

Explanation: The above quote can use two rhetorical appeals, the first is pathos, which refers to emotional appeal. This appeal can be seen when Roosevelt says that the fourth freedom is freedom from fear. This evokes a feeling of aversion to fear, causing society to see it as something negative and to have emotions contrary to it, stimulating the hope that it will be exterminated. The quate also uses the rhetorical appeal called logos (which evokes logic) because it shows that fear is created by the possibility of violence and that violence is often stimulated by the amount of weapons in a society. Therefore, it is logical to say that by decreasing the amount of armaments, violence is reduced and fear is reduced.
