Answer: E) They work hard every day, I know. I live amongst them. I'm one of them.
Explanation: When writing, an author can use several rhetorical devices in order to persuade, inform or impact the audience in the desired way. Three of the must used rhetorical devices are ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos is an appeal to the audience's ethics, logos is an appeal to the audience's logic and pathos is an appeal to the audience's emotions. In the given excerpt from "Common Ground and Common Sense" we can see an example of the use of ethos in the phrase "They work hard every day, I know. I live amongst them. I'm one of them" because the speaker is emphasizing in the fact that he understand and has lived the situation of which he is speaking, which makes him more believable.
If you read the vocab section at the beginning before you start reading, you will know what any of the words mean from the list, while reading the text.
So, let's say your vocab section has the word "joyous", and it's definition "very happy". When you read this before reading your text, you will not have to wonder what "joyous" means.
Does that make sense?
Also, put this into your own words, so you get full points.

These are the choices I found on the internet:
<span>A young servant of one of the passengers was the only one to die during the storms.
A sailor named John Howland fell overboard but was rescued before he drowned.
A sailor who fell overboard was spared by God to become a member of the church.
During the journey, the only death of a passenger occurred when the ship drew close to the coast.
It would be letter C - </span>A sailor who fell overboard was spared by God to become a member of the church. In this sentence, it was because God saved him that he had fulfilled God's plan for him which is to be a member of the church.
First answer is D he is recalling a pleasant event, and the second one well i'm pretty much guessing here because I haven't read the material so and have no idea whats going on in the story but using the knowledge I have of the first question my best guess is D.
