Explanation:

In the excerpt, Queen Elizabeth relies heavily on a rhetorical appeal to ethos to establish that she has the qualities of a strong leader.

This can be deduced where she stated that "I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too" and also "I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field".
