D. Logos

Answer 1

Answer:

The rethorical appeal used in this paragraph:

No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House.

Is:

B. Ethos

Explanation:

There are two reasons here to back this answer. the first one is that only ethos and logos are rhetorical appeals. While the second one is that the logos appeal identifies or describes logic made in statements by the speaker. While Ethos claims to analyze the ethic in the topic. In this case, the speaker is recalling the ethic of the men involved in the context of the paragraph.

Answer 2

Ethos.

As in appeal to ethics. It can't be logos because that is for logic and the other because those are literary devices, not appeals.
