Answer:
a. varisa smith: the only candidate with leadership
Explanation:
"the only candidate with leadership" is a show of credibility which is what the other candidates lack. Ethos in literature means that the text is demonstrating expertise, which is exactly what Veronica is trying to communicate to the audience.
Explanation:
The question is about Sam Watson, a character from the novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston.
This novel is filled with vernacular language, as a part of the setting of the story.
Questioning means doubting a validity of something, demanding a proof, querying.
Sam Watson, in this particular situation, used the term "questionizin" as a synonim for "asking" ("Ah'm questionizin' you!")
Although both words have the same root (question) their meanings slightly differ, as shown, but in spite of that difference, Sam's sentence can be understood in a proper context.
