In "Resistance to Civil Government," Henry David Thoreau uses ethos in order to help his audience gain trust in him. Thoreau uses his own personal experience in order to demonstrate his knowledge of his topic and his own personal connection to it. By using ethos in this rhetorical situation, Thoreau is attempting to inspire trust in his readers and establish his own credibility.

What would make the best claim for this written argument?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The student council should continue to support the school-wide food drive.

Explanation:

In the given passage, the main claim of the whole argument seems to rely on the fact that the student council's support is important for the survival of the food drive. The food drive may help support the students to learn about responsibility and help those communities in need. But without the support of the main student council, none of the efforts will come to fruition.

So, whether the students manage to collect and help support the communities, everything rests on the support of the student council. They are the backbone of the whole operation. The statement "without the student council's support, the food drive will not be officially promoted within the school and will likely languish" rightly provides the proof that the council is the most important part of the whole process.  

Thus, the best claim for the given argument is option 4/ the last option.
