Question

read the excerpt from \for the cherokee phoenix.\ we are told that we must go westward, that there we shall become a great people. but what nation or tribe have rendered themselves prosperous by removing the wilds of the west? how does the author create logos in this excerpt? by appealing to a sense of reason by asking a rhetorical question by using facts about moving westward to excite the audience about becoming a great people by quoting an expert opinion about the nations ability to become prosperous no matter where they move by appealing to a sense of authority by explaining what people say the cherokee can do

Explanation:

To determine how the author creates logos, we analyze each option:

1. The first option: The author asks "But what nation or tribe have rendered themselves prosperous by removing the wilds of the west?" This is a rhetorical question that appeals to reason, as it prompts the audience to think logically about the claim that moving west will make them great.
2. The second option: The excerpt does not use facts to excite; it questions the logic of the claim, not excite.
3. The third option: There is no expert opinion quoted.
4. The fourth option: Appealing to authority would involve citing an expert or official, but here the author is questioning a claim, not appealing to authority.

So the first option is correct.

Answer:

A. by appealing to a sense of reason by asking a rhetorical question
