The answer is D. unwilling
Answer:
D. Impressive because of the recipients of her wealth
Explanation:
Abigail Adams was the wife of John Adams, the second president of the United States, and the mother of John Quincy Adams, the sixth president.
The given quote is from an article <em>Abigail Adams’ Last Act of Defiance</em> written by Woody Holton. Among other things, it tells about Adams' will, where she left her fortune to her female relatives and servants. She didn't include any male relatives or servants, except for her two surviving sons, in the will. This is why the contents of this will were impressive, almost shocking. Her husband, John, could've ignored the will because it wasn't legally binding, but he did everything she had written there.
This is why the correct option is option D.
<u>Answer:</u>
A. Ethos
<u>Explanation:</u>
Ethos is a device that appeals to one’s ethics, a sense of right and wrong, and is used to lend credibility to what is being said by this appeal.
In the given statement, credibility is clearly established by assuring persistence through “every stage”, and “repeated Petitions,” and modesty and humility through “the most humble terms” even when the times were those of “Oppression.” This has an effect of lending to the narrator a good, humble, and persevering character which appeals to the ethics of the readers.
The answer cannot be ‘deductive logic’, as there’s no specific conclusion drawn from a general truth; or ‘inductive logic, because there’s no generalisation made from a specific example. The excerpt isn’t based on logic and evidence, and hence, it cannot be ‘logos’ either.
