Answer:“ As they walked along she told them stories of her own first flight.

Explanation: Ethos is a mode of persuasion and involves establishing one's credibility by telling the relevant people of the experiences and qualifications that one has of the matter at hand. This appeal by credibility would persuade people to trust the person more as it is logical to follow a person who has experience.

By telling the escapees of her first flight, she builds their confidence in her as they will understand that the current situation is something that she has been through and that if she could get through it, she can show them how to as well.
