Question

WILL MARK FIRST TO ANSWER THE BRAINLIEST!!!! Which of the following excerpts from The American Crisis is an example of an appeal to logos?
A. The far and the near, the home countries and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer of rejoice alike. The heart that feels not now is dead.

B. Once more we are again collected and collecting. Our new army at both ends of the continent is recruiting fast, and we shall be able to open the next campaign with sixty thousand men, well armed and clothed. This is our situation, and who will may know it.

C. Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to supose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the King can look up to heavan for help against us: a common murderer or highwayman has as good a pretense as he.

D. I have as little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has ever been, and still is, that God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction, or leave them unsupported to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent.

Answer 1

Pathos (appeal to emotion) is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response to an impassioned plea or a convincing story. Logos (appeal to logic) is a way of persuading an audience with reason, using facts and figures.
