Question

What technique makes both excerpts effective?

an appeal to logic
the use of repetition
the use of counterclaims
an appeal to credibility

Answer 1

counterclaims

The technique that makes these two excerpts effective is the use of counterclaims. In these passages, the speakers suggest main ideas. However, these are strengthened by the fact that they are supported by counterclaims. In the first example, King argues that we must all live together as brothers.
