Read the following excerpt from "Resistance to Civil Government" in which Thoreau argues that a person should disobey the govern

ment when its laws go against his or her conscience:
I have paid no poll-tax for six years. I was put into a jail once on this account, for one night; and, as I stood considering the walls of solid stone, two or three feet thick, the door of wood and iron, a foot thick, and the iron grating which strained the light, I could not help being struck with the foolishness of that institution which treated me as if I were mere flesh and blood and bones, to be locked up.
How does this excerpt best support Thoreau's argument?
A. It uses pathos to create a sense of fear of the government.
B. It uses his history of disobeying the government to illustrate logos.
C. It uses his personal experience of civil disobedience to build ethos.
D. It uses parallelism to show his disdain for being jailed for a minor crime
