Answer 2

It places Truth in a position of moral superiority.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of ethos used in a quotation. Truth is shown as strong women.

In metaphor, she describes her as a plant in a barn. She is struggling, suffering but she is showing that she can handle everything. Seen herself as a persistent and brave woman, she knows that " no man could head me". This part of a quotation tells that she is in a position of moral superiority.

She does not need a man to be her support. The author shows the reader Truth is a powerful woman.
