read this excerpt from the passage.
we meet at a college noted for knowledge, in a city noted for progress, in a state noted for strength, and we stand in need of all three, for we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. the greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
how effective is kennedy’s use of parallelism in the phrase “we meet at a college noted for knowledge, in a city noted for progress, in a state noted for strength, and we stand in need of all three”?
a. it is mostly ineffective because it creates a choppy rhythm and flow that makes kennedy’s attempt to appeal to the audience seem insincere.
b. it is somewhat effective because it presents controversial ideas using a rhythm and balance that makes kennedy’s ideas more appealing to the audience.
c. it is ineffective because it creates a competitive contrast between an institution, a city, and a state that are all vying for attention, which results in creating a divide among kennedy’s audience.
d. it is effective because it makes a geographical connection between an institution, a city, and a state all known for positive attributes to emphasize kennedy’s respect for the audience he is addressing.
