Answer:

"The children dragged themselves towards their aunt's section of the carriage."

"In a whisper, frequently disrupted by their loud and irritable inquiries, she commenced a tedious and profoundly dull tale about a very virtuous little girl."

Explanation:

Situational irony arises when the result is unexpected, or when the outcome is contrary to what was anticipated. In the excerpt from "The Storyteller" by Hector Hugh Munro (Saki), the children's anticipation of a captivating story is thwarted when the aunt begins to tell an unexciting story about a remarkably good girl.

Naddik [7538]

Existen dos secciones del texto que ilustran el uso del apelativo emocional como técnica persuasiva. A continuación, lo explicamos por separado:

La primera sección donde el orador utiliza el apelativo emocional es: "Sin el hielo marino, las plantas y animales árticos deben adaptarse o migrar. Si no lo logran, se extinguirán". Hasta ese momento, el orador solo había estado exponiendo los hechos y las consecuencias de esos hechos. Luego, al comenzar a hablar sobre el impacto de esos hechos en los seres vivos, al crear conciencia sobre la posible extinción, el orador hace que el lector también se sienta responsable por sus vidas. Como resultado, se genera cercanía y el lector se siente emocionalmente afectado por su discurso.

La segunda parte en la que el orador apela a las emociones es: "Estas comunidades deben trasladarse tierra adentro o sus hogares y tierras podrían ser arrastrados al mar". Aquí, se muestra al lector lo que podría suceder no solo a los animales, sino también a las personas como resultado de los hechos descritos. Utilizando la expresión "Si eso no es suficiente", el orador guía al lector desde una situación negativa hacia una aún peor, donde los cambios que se describen perjudicarían a personas como el mismo lector, generando empatía y, a través de ello, haciendo que el lector se sienta conectado a esta problemática y responsable por sus semejantes.
