Read the quotation from "Ain't I a Woman?"

Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man – when I could get it – and bear the lash as well! And ain’t I a woman?
Why is this quotation an example of logos, or an appeal based on reason?
Truth is implying that all of her listeners have experienced similar pain and can relate to her struggle.
Truth is suggesting that listeners should feel sympathy for her because she has suffered through extreme hardship.
Truth is explaining that women deserve equal rights because they endure the same hardships as men.
Truth is demonstrating that all women in the US have faced the same struggle that she has.

The correct answer is “Truth is explaining that women deserve equal rights because they endure the same hardships as men”.

Indeed, she is providing logical reasons why her claims are objectively correct and accurate. Since she uses reason and not emotion to prove her assertion that means she is using logos. The fact that her argument rests on the comparison of the similar capabilities that women have compared to those men have affirms the notion that since they share the same nature, they should not be denied the same rights just because they have a different gender.
