Question

"I am not induced by motives of pride, party, or resentment to espouse the

doctrine of separation and independence; I am clearly, positively, and

conscientiously persuaded that it is the true interest of this continent to be

so; that everything short of that is mere patchwork, that it can afford no

lasting felicity, - that it is leaving the sword to our children, and shrinking

back at a time, when, a little more, a little farther, would have rendered this

continent the glory of the earth."What appeals are being used here?

O logos and ethos

O logos and pathos

O ethos and pathos

O Only ethos

O none of these

Answer 1

O logos and pathos

Step-by-step explanation:

Logos is the rhetorical resource that evokes logic and we can see that at the beginning of the text the author states that he had no reasons for doing so, logically concluding that the continent wants to be the way it is, that is, nothing that is said will change the positioning of the continent, because he has already taken a position. However, we can see at the end of the passage that the author makes an appeal the author shows how the behavior of the subject is causing unhappiness. This makes him appeal to pathos, evoking sentimentality. The same call is repeated at the end when he speaks of the possibility of reaching eternal glory, which provokes the feeling of nationalism, determination and resilience.
