There are no options and this question is incomplete, but I've fortunately found the question online:
Read this excerpt from “Hope, Despair, and Memory” by Elie Wiesel and answer the question.
And yet real despair only seized us later. Afterwards. As we emerged from the nightmare and began to search for meaning.
Which of the following is Wiesel establishing and how?
A. ethos by appeal to his authority in having survived the Holocaust
B. logos by using the word “despair” to imply shared feeling
C. pathos by appeal to nightmare everyone can relate to
D. ethos by appeal to meaning
Answer:
Ethos by appeal to his authority in having survived the Holocaust
Explanation:
Ethos is usually defined as the fundamental character or spirit of a culture; the underlying sentiment that informs the beliefs, customs, or practices of a group or society; dominant assumptions of a people or period.
Elie Wiesel establishes ethos by appealing to his authority as a Holocaust survivor by recounting how they were gripped and overtaken by despair, only to escape from the nightmare in pursuit of meaning.
<h2>Who was Elie Wiesel?</h2>
