  3. C. The line uses “she to refer to Spain. It reads “on the western side of the Mississippi she advanced in considerable force, and took post at the settlement of Bayou Pierre, on the Red River.” Spain is being personified as a women advancing in force.

  4. THOMAS JEFFERSON, SIXTH OF THE UNION ADDRESS • 252. The primary purpose of paragraph one is to: • Inform • Persuade • Entertain • Refute • Defend

  6. THOMAS JEFFERSON, SIXTH OF THE UNION ADDRESS • 253. The sentence “In order, therefore, that the commanding officer might be enabled to act with effect, I had authorized him to call on the govenors of Orleans and Mississippi for a corps of 500 volunteer cavalry” mostly appeals to: I. Ethos II. Logos lll. Pathos • I • II • III • I and III • I, II, and III

  7. B. The sentence provides the number of volunteer cavalry and is analyzing the writers reasoning for providing the commanding officer with his number. Because of its factual information and its analysis of reasoning, this sentence appeals most to logos.

  8. THOMAS JEFFERSON, SIXTH OF THE UNION ADDRESS • 254. The sentence “It has done honor to themselves, entitles them to the confidence of their fellow citizens in every part of the Union, and must strengthen the general determination to protect them efficaciously under all circumstances which nay occur” mostly appeals to: l. L. Ethos ll. Logos lll. Pathos • I • II • III • I and II • I, II, and III

  9. C. The sentence uses emotions and values of honor, accomplishment or entitlement, confidence, camaraderie, strength and determination. It relies on the appeal to pathos to persuade the listeners that these volunteer are outstanding citizens and that they are worthy of our help and protection.

  10. THOMAS JEFFERSON, SIXTH OF THE UNION ADDRESS • 255. In context, the word, “promptitude” in line 30 most nearly means: • Fearlessness • Quickness to respond • Bravery • Fortitude • Selflessness

  11. B. The root of the word “promptitude” is prompt, which should help readers figure out that the word is used to describe the quickness with which the citizens responded.

  15. A. The last sentence repeats “it was due to” in the beginning of 2 successive clauses. Repetition of a word or group of words in the beginning of successive phrases, clause, or sentences is anaphora.

  16. THOMAS JEFFERSON, SIXTH OF THE UNION ADDRESS • 258. In context, the word “efficaciously” in line 34 and 47 most nearly means: • Feasibly • With futility • Effectively • Expeditiously • Fruitlessly

  21. A. The tone of the last paragraph can best be described as “fervent,” meaning that the writer is showing intensity. This can be seen in the closing line, especially “should be promptly and efficaciously surpressed,” which expresses the writer’s intensity.
