When planning and crafting a speech, which rhetorical device can best be used to create a feeling of unity between speaker and audience?

A. the first-person plural mode of address

B. parallel structure

C. allusion

D. an effective hook

The Answer is The first-person plural mode of address.

I took the quiz and got this answer right (k12).

A. addressing the first-person in plural mode

Explanation:

By referring the audience in the first-person plural mode, the authors or speaker can create unity between them and the audience. Using 'We' in your sentences, the author/speaker is addressing the audience/reader in first-person in plural form.

Lincoln, in his speech during the time of war, creates a united feeling between him and the people by using 'we' in his sentences. By including 'we' in the sentence, Lincoln emphasized that they were fighting it together.
