Read the excerpt from president woodrow wilson’s speech “the meaning of liberty.”
what other great people has devoted itself to this exalted ideal? to what other nation in the world can all eyes look for an instant sympathy that thrills the whole body politic when men anywhere are fighting for their rights? i do not know that there will ever be a declaration of independence and of grievances for mankind, but i believe that if any such document is ever drawn it will be drawn in the spirit of the american declaration of independence, and that america has lifted high the light which will shine unto all generations and guide the feet of mankind to the goal of justice and liberty and peace.
which statement most accurately explains the rhetorical impact of wilson’s use of diction in the excerpt?
wilson’s use of words such as “men” and “mankind” subliminally undermines the arguments of the declaration of independence because women did not have equal rights.
wilson’s use of words such as “exalted,” “believe,” and “spirit” links the freedoms americans experience to a lofty sense of mankind’s purpose.
wilson’s use of words such as “thrills” and “fighting” shows the joy of the revolutionary soldiers as they sacrificed for the future of the country.
wilson’s use of words such as “eyes,” “body,” and “feet” shows that america is like a living thing, in which all individual citizens play an integral part.
