The three appeals of persuasive speech are ethos, Logos<span>, and pathos.
</span>Ethos mainly means, the character, the spirit of an era, or culture etc.
Logos is the greek word for logic.
Pathos means something that stimulates sadness or tragedy.
I hope this helps! ^_^
The answer is letter C because
The sentence - The ranchers called in the sheriff to settle the dispute - is written in the active voice.
The passive voice would be - The sheriff was called by the ranchers to settle the dispute.
I think that C, that is, "they found the charge and trouble very great, and they had little or no crop it is not doubted", is your answer.
Understatement represents something as smaller or less intense than it reallly is, it presents it as less important. In sentence C, the speaker refers to a problem as a minor inconvinience "(...)trouble very great". Generarlly, we all know, that troubles are far from great. "They had little or no crop it is not doubted", you could change the focus and say that you have "some crop" instead of referring to the crop as being little.
