Read this excerpt from rudolfo anaya’s essay “take the tortillas out of your poetry.” tortillas and poetry. they go hand in hand. books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. our distinct cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become freer and freer. . i don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. i travel to foreign countries, and i know more about myself as i learn more about my fellow human beings. censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one. which of these changes would make this excerpt more argumentative? using words that affect the audience’s sense of trust using less repetition of certain words and phrases including words that address logic and reason including words that are charged with emotion

The answer is:

The change that would make this excerpt more argumentative is...

-including words that address logic and reason

The reasoning is the fact that the excerpt already includes words that are charged with emotion so adding the aforementioned would make for a more argumentative point of view.

The correct answer is including words that address logic and reason.

Explanation:

Rudolfo Anaya is a Mexican-American writer, known by the novel Bless Me, Ultima, published in 1972. He is considered as one of the founders of the chicano movement.

In the excerpt, readers can see words that appeal to emotions (and this is the tone of the whole passage) so it is not correct.

Appealing to the audience's sense of trust is also done in the passage (using words like "spirit" or "our bodies") so it is also incorrect.

Repetition is a rhetorical device used, in this case, to emphasize and idea, so it is incorrect too.

Since we want to the text to be more argumentative it is logical to believe that including words that address logic and reason is going to be very helpful since they can help the speaker express his point and convince the audience about something.
