Question 1: The lines "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands..." establish the _purpose_ for the Declaration of Independence. To reach this answer, we can analyze the text and understand that the purpose of the Declaration of Independence is to declare the causes that lead to the separation from another political entity.
Question 2: The theme of the passage "Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren..." is that the British legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction over the colonies. To determine the theme, we need to identify the main idea or subject that is conveyed in the passage. In this case, it is the fact that the British legislature overstepped its authority and imposed unjust control on the colonies.
Question 3: The lines "We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred..." are an example of the use of _pathos_. To identify the rhetorical appeal being used, we can analyze the emotional appeal and persuasion techniques used in the lines. In this case, the appeal is made to the British people's sense of justice and their emotional connection as common kindred.
Question 4: The lines "We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions..." are an example of the use of _ethos_. By analyzing the rhetorical appeal, we can understand that the lines establish credibility and moral authority by appealing to a higher power and emphasizing the intentions of the representatives of the United States of America.
Question 5: The lines "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes..." are an example of the use of _purpose_. To determine the answer, we can examine the function of the lines in the overall text. In this case, the purpose is to explain the reason for not changing long-established governments for minor or temporary reasons.
