Read the excerpt from “How the Internet and Other Technologies Came About.” In a scenario of two dazed boxers lying flat on their backs, slowly regaining consciousness, the winner of World War III would be that country which could stand on its feet first (and so go on to win World War VI). Therefore, the pentagon’s priority was to provide scientists with a way to rebuild the country as fast as possible, unimpeded by unnecessary restrictions. Which type of rhetoric is used most in this excerpt to convince readers of the author’s point of view?
