The answer is: Ahab has always been somewhat mad, but his insanity has recently flourished.
In the excerpt from "Moby D*ck," by Herman Melville, the narrator refers to madness, one of the themes of the novel. He means that Captain Ahab has always been insane, but then his madness becomes completely delirious and absurd. One of the reasons is he has lost a leg because of Moby D*ck, so he turns outrageously vengeful and obsessed with killing the whale.
As for me, the most related sentence to ethos is ''I am clearly, positively, andconscientiously persuaded that it is the true interest of this continent to be so.'' Because it shows exactly how the speaker convinces auditory in his credibility, and according to sentence I have chosen we can extract the words and check with options you shared above. Even though it can seem controversial, it must be A. conscientiously, true interest of this continent , because it is claims to be interested in common good.
