Answer:

The right anwer is "an appeal to reason".

Explanation:

The writer uses a series of resources to appeal to people's reason in order to gain support for a fight. He reminds the audience about work already done "if we mean not to basely abandon the noble struggle we have so long engaged". Moreover, a moral commitment is brought up "we have pledged ourselves never to abandon...". The appeal is presented so that no answers other than to forge ahead and fight seem reasonable.

What are gerunds, infinitives, and participials ?
ale4655 [162]
A Gerund/ Gerund Phrase is a verb form that acts like a noun and ALWAYS ends in -ing.   Hint:  Replace the gerund with "this thing," or, "that thing" to test your answer.

A participle / participle phrase is a verb that functions in a sentence as an adjective. It described nouns and pronouns.  
Present -> ends in -ing
Past ->    ends in - ed
Irregular -> various endings

Infinitive / infinitive phrases is a verb form preceded by the word "to" 

Don't confuse with the preposition "to"   
  
                              Infinitive = to + verb 
                             Preposition = to + noun or pronoun
sometimes the "to" is dropped. 

I hope this helped. Of course, this is the 11th-grade versions of English. Also, if you have any other questions let me know :)
