The question is incomplete, here is the complete question.

Read the excerpt from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba.

One Saturday, Gilbert met me in the library and we flipped through books we thought might be fun. I couldn't study all the time. One book that caught my attention was the Malawi Junior Integrated Science book, used by Form Four students. Hmm, I thought, and flipped it open. There were lots of pictures and diagrams, which I found easy to understand. I saw pictures of cancer and scabies and children stricken with kwashiorkor, like so many who'd wandered the country. One picture had a man in a shiny silver suit walking on the moon.

What is the primary idea that the details in the excerpt tell a reader about Kamkwamba?

Answer:

He is intelligent despite his lack of education.

Explanation:

William Kamkwamba was a young boy from Malawi, a country where a great hunger and drought prevailed. As a young uneducated boy he had a dream to bring water and electricity to his poor town but he was greatly mocked by people around him.

The primary idea from the excerpt tells the reader about William high level of intelligence due to his ability to understand the pictures and diagrams in the science textbook despite the fact that he is not properly educated.

Which of these is an example of ethos?
11111nata11111 [884]
I think first sentence and last two. The first one is appealing to a pet owner's feelings of wanting to be a good pet owner and the merchant is using that to persuade them to buy the biscuits. The last two sentences are appealing to a person's feelings of loneliness or being left out and using that to convince you to buy a pool. They both appeal to people's emotions in order to persuade them towards action, that's what it means to use pathos.
