Question

in order to maintain their credibility, the creators of the declaration: a. included a bibliography of sources they used. b. appealed to the emotions of their british brethren. c. referred to the king respectfully. d. gave specific examples of their mistreatment.

Explanation:

When making a declaration, providing specific examples of mistreatment adds credibility as it offers tangible evidence. A bibliography may not be typical in a declaration context. Appealing to emotions or respectful references to the king do not directly enhance credibility like presenting real - life examples of mistreatment does.

Answer:

D. gave specific examples of their mistreatment.
