2. What term is used to situate an individual within an audience?

Docorum is the correct answer because it refers to the behavior or conduct expected in a particular social setting or audience. It is the term used to situate an individual within an audience by determining how they should behave or present themselves in order to be appropriate and well-received. Confidence and self-esteem are related to personal feelings and beliefs, while ethos refers to the credibility or character of a speaker, none of which directly address situating an individual within an audience.

3. Which of the following is not a tool of rhetorical logos?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Docorum." This is because "Docorum" is not a tool of rhetorical logos. Rhetorical logos refers to the use of logical reasoning and evidence to persuade an audience. Inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, and enthymeme are all examples of tools that can be used to support logical arguments and appeal to logos. However, "Docorum" does not fit into this category as it refers to the principles of appropriate behavior and etiquette in communication, rather than logical reasoning.
