* Rhetorical language is language designed to persuade, inform, or inspire an audience. It uses techniques to create a desired effect.
Let's break down the choices:
* A. repeating keywords for emphasis: This is a classic rhetorical device called repetition. It helps to drive home a point and make it memorable.
* B. maintaining eye contact: While important for audience engagement, it's not a rhetorical technique itself.
* C. varying the speed at which you speak: This is a delivery technique, not a rhetorical device. It can help with emphasis, but it doesn't directly persuade or inform.
* D. tone or pitch: Similar to varying speed, this is a delivery element. It can create emotion, but it's not a specific rhetorical device.
Other examples of rhetorical language:
* Metaphor: Comparing one thing to another to create a vivid image (e.g., "He's a lion on the battlefield").
* Analogy: Drawing a comparison between two things to explain a concept (e.g., "Learning a new language is like building a house, brick by brick").
* Alliteration: Using words that start with the same sound (e.g., "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers").
