Answer:

C. Ethical Appeal.

Explanation:

Ethical Appeal is a type of persuasion that reveals about the credibility of the author. It is also known as ethos. In this type of persuasion, the audience is persuaded based on the speaker's credibility or how much the speaker is credible and worth listening to. The author's credibility is known based on his unbiasedness and fairness.

The given passage is taken from the speech named <u>"The Strenuous Life" delivered by Theodore Roosevelt on 10th April 1899</u>. The speech was delivered to encourage his audience to overcome hardships and strenuous life should be the lifestyle of Americans, that they should not live a life of idleness. He shares the experience of his life, of how he also overcame hardship and became the 26th President of the United States. So, his audience was persuaded based on Roosevelt's credibility. Thus, the correct answer is option C, ethical appeal.

Someone a few rows ahead (was, were) coughing uncontrollably, so I missed the speaker's closing words.
Naddik [55]
For this question, we are trying to figure out which verb fits the structure of the sentence better. 
To do this, we must first find which word the verb is defining. The subject of a sentence (except in a few rare cases) is typically before the verb, and is always a noun. 
There are two nouns in the sentence (Someone and rows). Which one is the verb expressing?

Well, let's think about it. Are the rows coughing? Somehow, I doubt it, so we're left with Someone. Someone is a singular pronoun, so the appropriate defining verb would be 'was'.

"Someone a few rows ahead was coughing uncontrollably, so I missed the speaker's closing words."
Hope that helped =)
