Question 4:

Assess the extent to which the reasoning and evidence in a text support the author's claims.

Answer: The author provided numerous accounts of individuals imprisoned for expressing their opinions or speaking out for equal rights. These accounts provide support for the author's claim that human rights' groups need to focus on the humanitarian aspect of human rights rather than the political views of the individuals. The author's claim that public opinion freed the slaves and serfs is based on pathos and ignores other events that led to the liberation of these two groups. Pathos is also used to convince the reader to join in the author's efforts.
