Answer 2

"She had told them about the place where they would stay, promising warmth and good food, holding these things out to them as an incentive to keep going."

Step-by-step explanation:

Pathos is a literary device that appeal to the emotions of people. Harriet Tubman was a former slave who regained her freedom and then went on help other Africans regain their freedom as a conductor in the underground rail road. This happened before the outbreak of the American civil war. Tubman made about 13 missions in a bid to rescue hundreds of African slaves. She died on 10th March 1913.

In the excerpt above, she appealed to the emotions of the slaves by promising them warmth and good food to encourage them on their trip to freedom. This is an example of pathos.
