Explanation:
<u>What Churchill is basically saying in the passage is that England will not surrender. That the English people will keep on fighting, even if other countries are being defeated.</u> He does not talk of himself and his qualifications as a leader. He does not explain military tactics or preparations. In this passage, he does not present an argument against Germany. <u>All he does is appeal to his audience's emotions. He makes use of repetition quite efficiently to do so: "We shall". He does not say "I", or "you", it's always "we", helping create a sense of unity. He speaks of strength, of confidence, of endurance and resilience.</u> Having that in mind, the best option is letter C. pathos, because it appeal to audience's feelings of unity and patriotism.
