Answer:
B). Ethos
Explanation:
Ethos is defined as the persuasive device in which the author invokes their authority, competence, or expertise in an attempt to establish the credibility of his/her argument and convince the readers to believe in it. In the given example, <u>'ethos' is the rhetorical device that the author has employed to establish the validity of his argument by invoking his authority('I do not think...win in this year')</u>. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
If I understand the question correctly, the negative is the "opposite," so here you could write a phrase with the opposite of each word:
The moon sets to the west.
