Read the excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Minister's Black Veil," and then answer the question. "The sermon which he now

delivered was marked by the same characteristics of style and manner as the general series of his pulpit oratory. But there was something, either in the sentiment of the discourse itself, or in the imagination of the auditors, which made it greatly the most powerful effort that they had ever heard from their pastor's lips. It was tinged rather more darkly than usual with the gentle gloom of Mr. Hooper's temperament. The subject had reference to secret sin, and those sad mysteries which we hide from our nearest and dearest, and would fain conceal from our own consciousness, even forgetting that the Omniscient can detect them. A subtle power was breathed into his words. Each member of the congregation, the most innocent girl, and the man of hardened breast, felt as if the preacher had crept upon them, behind his awful veil, and discovered their hoarded iniquity of deed or thought." Which theme is expressed in the excerpt? A. hidden sin B. lost memory C. unwavering faith D. youthful innocence

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The passage mentions that the subject of the sermon made a reference to a secret sin. Both the tone, the mannerisms, and the word selection of the pastor also seem to reflect a dark vibe or feeling that the congregation had not felt before.

Other expressions that allude to the hidden sin being referred to are hoarded iniquity or deed, conceal from our own consciousness, and hide from our nearest and dearest.

The answer to your question is A. Ethos. it is one of the techniques in persuasion, people tend to listen to those who are professionals and have authority in some fields. in your case dentists know more about chewing gum so they are more convincing and more respected ad we tend to listen to them. Logos is more logical and fact base, most popular in this case of persuasion is using statistics and facts. Pathos is more of an emotional type of persuasion, it can play on fear, sadness and etc.
