Question

which statement from \aint i a woman?\ is an example of pathos?
well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter.
that man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere.
i have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when i cried out with my mother’s grief, none but jesus heard me!
if my cup won’t hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn’t you be mean not to let me have my little half-measure full?

Explanation:

Pathos appeals to emotions. The statement "I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me!" shares a personal, tragic experience (losing children to slavery, unheard grief) that evokes empathy and emotional response, fitting pathos. Other options: first is introductory, second presents an opposing view, fourth is a logical analogy (logos).

Answer:

C. I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me!
