Question 3(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)

“We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.”

These lines from the Declaration of Independence are an example of the use of _______________.

logos
pathos
theme
purpose

Answer 1

The answer, I believe is PATHOS. Why?

• Definition of Pathos:
- An emotional appeal to an audience by eliciting feelings that reside in the presenter.

•• My Reasoning ••
- This sentence from the Declaration of Independence resonates the "feelings of the American colonists under British rule".

It could also be LOGOS. However, I believe that PATHOS might be the correct choice for the question. THEME and PURPOSE can be directly eliminated from the choices.
