Read this quote from "Letter from Birmingham Jail." (p. 204, paragraph 7)

"One may well ask, 'How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?' The
answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just [fair) and unjust ſunfair). I would
be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility
to disobey just laws."
Which of the following is true?
A. This is an example of the use of ethos, because King shows that he is an honest person who is aware of his
responsibility to be aware of his actions and to do the right thing.
B. This is an example of the use of logos, because King demonstrates that he is willing to consider the challenge to
his behavior and defend it by presenting logic.
C. This is an example of the use of pathos, because King stirs up sympathy for the obstacles constantly placed in the way of black people due to Jim Crow Laws.
D. Either A or B
E. Either B or C
