The complete question is;
Read the excerpt from Queen Elizabeth's Response to Parliament's Request That She Marry.
The realm shall not remain destitute of any heir that may be a fit governor, and peradventure more beneficial to the realm, than such offspring as may come of me: For though I be never so careful of your well-doing, and mind ever so to be, yet may my issue grow out of kind, and become perhaps ungracious.
Which statement best describes Queen Elizabeth's use of rhetorical appeals in this excerpt?
She relies on logos by listing for Parliament some of her personal reasons for wanting to remain unmarried and childless.
She relies on pathos by attempting to make the members of Parliament feel sorry for her and the fact that she is unmarried and childless.
She relies on logos by providing reasons why Parliament should not worry about the fact that she is unmarried and childless.
She relies on pathos by making the members of Parliament feel foolish for worrying about the fact that she is unmarried and childless.
Answer:
C). She relies on logos by providing reasons why Parliament should not worry about the fact that she is unmarried and childless.
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the question, the third statement correctly displays how Queen Elizabeth effectively employs 'logos' as the rhetorical appeal to serve her purpose effectively. She logically convinces the readers by offering appropriate causes or reasons('heir that may be a fit governor...beneficial to the realm...such offspring...come of me') for which the people in the legislative body need not be concerned regarding her being single and childless. The logical appeal resonates that maybe her child could not be an efficient ruler. and hence, option C is the correct answer.
