The following from "An American Idea" is an example of which type of appeal? "The idea was there at the very beginning, well before Thomas Jefferson put it into words—and the idea rang the call…Jefferson himself could not have imagined the reach of his call across the world in time to come when he wrote…But over the next two centuries the call would reach the potato patches of Ireland, the ghettoes of Europe, the paddyfields of China, stirring farmers to leave their lands and townsmen their trades and thus unsettling all traditional civilizations.

The correct option is EMOTIONAL.
Emotional appeal by the speaker to the listeners is called pathos. From the passage given above, it can be seen that, the words of Thomas Jefferson appeal to the emotions of different people by stirring them to actions to leave their lands and their trades.
