Which best describes the appeal Kennedy makes in "Make Gentle the Life of This World"?

Answer
A
He mainly appeals to logic by giving examples of how violence does not solve problems.
B
He mainly appeals to emotion by urging his audience to focus on compassion and understanding.
C
He mainly appeals to timeliness by telling audience members not to protest in the coming days.
D

Explanation

Kennedy’s appeal is mainly emotional: he urges listeners to respond to tragedy with compassion, understanding, and a commitment to make life gentler for others. The emphasis is on shared feelings and humane values, not on presenting logical examples, warning against protests, or relying chiefly on his own authority. Therefore, the best choice is “He mainly appeals to emotion by urging his audience to focus on compassion and understanding.”
