I am not sure what your options are, but I can give you some tips on how to detect an appeal to logos. An appeal to logos is simply an appeal to a reader's logic. Try to find where Patrick Henry is appealing to your sense of reason. Disregard passages where he is trying to persuade you using emotional tactic, or trying to convince you of his character or credibility, as these are not appeals to logos. Hope this helps.
