appositive phrase

An appositive phrase renames or describes a noun. It is extra information included to help clarify the reader something about the noun. In this sentence "an electrical engineer" helps the reader understand why the speaker's father is able to help her better understand the material in her science textbook. An appositive phrase is usually set apart from the rest of the sentence by commas and can be eliminated from the sentence without changing any meaning.

Over [174]

Answer: Ethos

Explanation:

Ethos is one of the modes of persuasion espoused by Aristotle. When using ethos to convince people, a person uses their experience and pedigree to establish credibility so that the people they are trying to convince will rest easier knowing that the opinion of the person is from an experienced place.

By telling the runaways of her experiences, Harriet Tubman was gaining credibility by using ethos to convince them. Ideally this would make them listen to her more so as to make it to the North unscathed.
