Read the first sentence from Patrick Henry's speech: "No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House." What appeal does he primarily use here?

Answer:

Ethos

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethos is the public's perception of its authority and good morals. For this reason we can conclude that Henry's appeal is the Ethos because he uses his good nature to influence the process of persuasion, such as his authority, honesty, and credibility in relation to the subject under analysis. This speaker's capacity for dialogue and presentation is also included in the competencies that may lead to ethical persuasion.
