ANSWER: D. The personification of the word Prudence EFFECTIVELY ENHANCES THE LOGOS AND ETHOS OF THE ARGUMENT.
Personifying prudence strengthened the message of the declaration since it deems the arguments to come from PRUDENCE itself - the foresight, wisdom, and common sense that will allow the people to evaluate that the arguments come from a logical and ethical background.
