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.

Answer:

"Where Is Here?" takes place:

b. on a chilly, damp evening at sunset

Explanation:

"Where Is Here" is short story by author Joyce Carol Oates. The answer to this question concerning the setting can be found at the beginning of the story, in the first two paragraphs. Take a look at the evidence below:

<em>[...] when, one November evening at dusk, the doorbell rang</em>

<em>So, in the chill, damp, deepening dusk, the stranger wandered around the property</em>

Thus, we can safely say the story takes place b. on a chilly, damp evening at sunset.
