Ethos, because she is using facts and logic to convince her audience.

Answer: A

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the rhetorical appeal is Tubman uses to convince people to continue is  Ethos because she is using her own experience to build credibility. Thus the correct option is A.

Rhetorical devices symbolize the language used by the author for communicating or conveying any thought or idea. This language helps to comprehend the writer's tone while describing their thoughts. This helps to understand the emotions or feelings of the writer.

The line "she told them of her won first vain try" in this excerpt shows that the author is employing their own experience to establish credibility.

The emotions or feelings of a speaker that are conveyed in an effort to influence an audience are referred to as ethos in rhetoric. It is utilized again in the excerpt.

Therefore, option A is appropriate.

The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely1 and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.

Next, a thin, slimy arm reached out from behind the leaves. Then, a scaly, green leg.
I thought it was an animal that needed help, so I stopped to see what it was. I sat with the headlights on, waiting for it to reappear. I was driving along a dark road late at night. I don’t visit this side of town often, and I was having a hard time figuring out where I was. It was a dark and stormy night.
As I crept along the road, I got an eerie feeling. Something didn’t feel right.
As it crossed in front of my headlights, it saw me in the driver’s seat. I froze.
Soon, I saw glowing red eyes peering out at me from the forest.
As it came out from behind the trees, I saw that it was a huge beast!
It must have been about six feet tall, with sharp fangs, black claws, and a huge yellow fin down its back. Suddenly, it let out a piercing shriek. I screamed.
Then, I saw something move in the bushes as my headlights passed. My heart jumped into my throat!
I sat there, stunned, for a few minutes. Once I caught my breath, I put the car in drive and raced into town, and didn’t stop until I got to the police station.
It walked closer on its webbed feet, leaving wet tracks on the road.
It peered into the windshield. I was so scared I almost cried!
She didn’t believe me, but as I left I saw her put my statement in a big box, filled with papers, labeled “GIANT REPTILE SIGHTINGS.” “Oh, please. That sounds ridiculous. You must have just been tired,” she said as she took my statement. Then, just as soon as it appeared, it lumbered off into the forest on the other side of the road.
I ran inside, covered in sweat, and told my story to an officer.

The Moment
John Malone

I heard there were whales lunging out of the water
At Henley South.
“Sleek and smooth as peach slices,”
One eyewitness said.
Whales!
I finished what I was doing and went down
For a look,
But the sea was flat and empty.
There were only a pair of cyclists on the other side
Doing up their clips
And a pelican among the gulls gazing wistfully at a spot
Where something might have been.
No sun was out. The sky was whale-gray.
I had missed the moment

Select the correct text in the passage. Which part of the passage provides details that are also in the image? from The Talkative Tortoise There was once a wise person who became an adviser to a king who was very talkative—so talkative that when he was around, no one had an opportunity to say a word. At that time, there also lived a tortoise in a pond in the Himalayas, who made friends with two young wild ducks. One day, the ducks said to the tortoise, "Friend tortoise, the place where we live, at the Golden Cave on Mount Beautiful in the Himalayan country, is a delightful spot. Will you come there with us?" The tortoise asked, "But how can I get there?" "We can take you if you can only hold your tongue and say nothing to anybody," replied the ducks. "Oh! That I can do. Take me with you," said the tortoise. And making the tortoise bite hold of a stick, the ducks took the two ends in their teeth and flew up into the air. Some villagers called out and said, "Two wild ducks are carrying a tortoise along on a stick!" The tortoise who had difficulty keeping quiet wanted to say, "If my friends choose to carry me, what is that to you!" When the tortoise opened his mouth to say the words, he let go of the stick he was biting and fell down and got hurt. The king, who saw this happen, asked his adviser, "How come he has fallen here?" The adviser replied, "The tortoise must have wanted to say something, let go of the stick, fallen down from the sky, and thus got injured." The king understood the adviser's words and learned to listen to others.

Reread paragraphs 9–10 of the story. Then answer the multiple-choice questions that follow. From “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe 9 No doubt I now grew very pale;—but I talked more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet the sound increased—and what could I do? It was a low, dull, quick sound—much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I gasped for breath—and yet the officers heard it not. I talked more quickly—more vehemently; but the noise steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations, but the noise steadily increased. Why would they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of the men—but the noise steadily increased. Oh God! what could I do? I foamed —I raved—I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased. It grew louder—louder—louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they heard not? Almighty God!—no, no! They heard!—they suspected!—they knew! —they were making a mockery of my horror!—this I thought, and this I think. But any thing was better than this agony! Any thing was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die!—and now—again— hark! louder! louder! louder! louder!— 10 “Villains!” I shrieked, “dissemble no more! I admit the deed!—tear up the planks!—here, here!—it is the beating of his hideous heart!” What effect do the punctuation choices in paragraph 9 have on the tone?
