Explanation:

The most effective way to convince an audience or group of people to do or support something is to use the modes of persuasion:Ethos, Logos, and Pathos.

Ethos or the ethical appeal, means to convince an audience of the author’s credibility or character. This can be used as support from celebrities, popular activists or even people the audience knows personally.Logos or the appeal to logic, means to convince an audience by use of logic or reason. Ruth could write a logical response as to why women are equal. Pathos or the emotional appeal, means to persuade an audience by appealing to their emotions. In this case, Ruth could use the history of women's equality to appeal to her audience.

The only reason option 2 would not work is because it lacks effort, thought, and exuberance in the cause she is supporting.
