Zorluk: OrtaMeeting Specific Rhetorical Goals

Passage Excerpt:

In the early nineteenth century, a Cherokee silversmith named Sequoyah became convinced that written language was the key to his people's independence. Over the course of a decade, he painstakingly designed a system of eighty-five characters representing the syllables of the spoken Cherokee language. His invention allowed Cherokee speakers to achieve literacy rapidly, leading to the establishment of the first Native American newspaper, *The Cherokee Phoenix*, in 1828.

Given that all the choices are grammatically correct, which choice most clearly and vividly emphasizes the widespread and immediate adoption of Sequoyah's system by the Cherokee community?

  1. Within months, thousands of Cherokee people learned to read and write the new scriptCevap
  2. B
    The writing system was eventually used to record traditional Cherokee stories and laws
  3. C
    He spent several years working in isolation, despite facing skepticism from his neighbors
  4. D
    Cherokee speakers learned the symbols, they taught their neighbors

Cevap

The option stating that within months, thousands of Cherokee people learned to read and write the new script is the correct choice.
The correct option provides specific, vivid details that show both immediate ('Within months') and widespread ('thousands of Cherokee people') adoption of the script, fulfilling the rhetorical goal outlined in the prompt.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the prompt to identify the specific rhetorical constraints required.
The prompt requires details showing both 'widespread' (large scale) and 'immediate' (fast or sudden) adoption of the writing system.
This establishes the criteria against which all options must be measured.
2
Evaluate the choices to check which ones fulfill both parts of the rhetorical goal.
The option highlighting 'Within months' (immediate) and 'thousands of Cherokee people' (widespread) satisfies both criteria. The other options either discuss long-term uses, detail the creator's struggles, or contain grammatical errors.
This narrows down the candidates to the rhetorically appropriate choice.
3
Check the remaining candidate for grammatical accuracy.
The correct option is grammatically sound, whereas the option containing 'they taught their neighbors' is a comma splice.
ACT English questions require the correct choice to be both rhetorically and grammatically correct.
