QUESTION 1 (2 ANSWERS PROVIDED)
Introduction
In this essay, I will analyze the editorial titled "Financial Illiteracy Breeds Debt" to explore how the
writer employs style, linguistic features, and rhetorical devices to convey the purpose and enhance
meaning. The article's focus is on South Africa's alarming debt levels, which are attributed to
financial illiteracy and predatory lending practices. The target audience includes South African
citizens, policymakers, and financial institutions, aiming to raise awareness of the impact of debt
on individuals and society. Through a mix of formal and informal language, rhetorical questions,
and persuasive techniques, the writer engages readers and challenges them to consider the
deeper socio-economic problems that lead to financial struggles.
