HELP PLEASE 3
Read these sentences from paragraph 4.
If we do refuse to allow the rich,
desirable, and important Hawaiian
Islands permission to become a part of
our territory, it will be an act of utter
recklessness and indifference in respect
to our interests as a nation and our
welfare as a people. It is certain that our
duty to ourselves requires us to accept
this offer.
Why does the language of these sentences make
an effective closing to Bingham's argument?
A. Words like "permission" and "respect" remind
the audience that they must honor the islanders'
wishes.
B. Words like "recklessness" and "indifference"
humiliate the audience members who oppose
annexation.
C. Words like "duty" and "nation" call upon the
audience's higher values in the matter of Hawaii.
D. Words like "rich" and "welfare" emphasize the
economic disparity between the audience and
islanders.
