ANSWER: D. The personification of the word Prudence EFFECTIVELY ENHANCES THE LOGOS AND ETHOS OF THE ARGUMENT.

Personifying prudence strengthened the message of the declaration since it deems the arguments to come from PRUDENCE itself - the foresight, wisdom, and common sense that will allow the people to evaluate that the arguments come from a logical and ethical background.

Prudence was used to encourage people to consider exercising the value when considering the arguments. This then gives the arguments the added weight all because of the personification.

Answer:

Rene Descartes

Explanation:

Rene Descartes (31 March 1596 – 11 February 1650) was a French philosopher, scientist, and mathematician.  

Descartes determined a single first principle: I think.

In Discourse on the Method and Principles of Philosoph is explained like this : "Thought cannot be separated from me, therefore, I exist".

This is known as cogito ergo sum (in English: "I think, therefore I am").

Descartes concluded that, if he doubted, then, something or someone must be doing the doubting, therefore the fact that he doubted proved his existence.

Hi there!

When I’m writing I think coming up with organization is the easiest thing for me. Personally grammar is one of the biggest struggles for me, especially because now-a-days I speak in-proper English. A goal I have is to make sure that not only I, but others should be able to understand my writing, because at the end of the day, I’m not only writing it for me. Sometimes when I’m having trouble I read older books that came out in the early 2000s to have an easier understanding.

Hope this helps!
