Question

How does Kennedy’s word choice affect the tone and meaning of this game excerpt from the passage. While the wall is the most obvious and vivid demonstration of
the failures of the Communist system, for all the world to see,
we take no satisfaction in it, for it is, as your Mayor has said,
an offense not only against history but an offense against
humanity, separating families, dividing husbands and wives
and brothers and sisters, and dividing a people who wish to
be joined together.
The phrase "obvious and vivid" sets an
aggravated tone and suggests Kennedy is weary
of standing up to communism
Repetition of the word "offense" develops an
angry tone and emphasizes the destructiveness
of communism
Repetition of the word "dividing" creates a
frustrated tone and suggests Kennedy is prepared
to take action against communists
The phrases "brothers and sisters and joined
together" suggest a peaceful tone and highlight
the need for cooperation with communists

Answer 1

Answer:

Repetition of the word "dividing" creates a  frustrated tone and suggests Kennedy is prepared  to take action against communists

Explanation:

Dividing is a more negative word and is usually used in speeches when someone wants to take action against something they think needs to be dealt with immediately like MLK and the division between white and black people

Answer 2

: Repetition of the word “offense” develops an angry tone and emphasizes the destructiveness of communism.
