Answer:

B. The excerpt relies on pathos by making strong emotional claims.

Explanation:

Pathos appeal emotions. It is a way of convincing an audience by eliciting emotions in the audience.

Thomas Jefferson's "Declaration of Independence" makes several appeals to audience's emotions. This excerpt relies heavily on pathos

"we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." are all appealing emotions of the audience.

Other two closely related rhetoric techniques to convince an audience are;

1: Logos: The use of logic to convince an audience.

2: Ethos: Trying to convince an audience by appealing to ethics.
