Question

read the excerpt from \indian emigration.\ now why deprive us of all our comforts, tear us from all we hold dear, and drag us from the soil which gave us birth, rendered doubly precious, as the bones of our fathers have been deposited here from time immemorial, to accomplish that which is now in rapid progression? which rhetorical appeal is most evident in this excerpt? ethos kairos logos pathos

Explanation:

To determine the rhetorical appeal, we analyze each option:

• Ethos: Relates to credibility/ethics, not evident here.
• Kairos: About timing, not relevant to the excerpt's content.
• Logos: Logical reasoning, the excerpt is emotional, not logical.
• Pathos: Appeals to emotion. The excerpt uses phrases like "deprive us of all our comforts," "tear us from all we hold dear," and references the soil of birth and fathers' bones, evoking emotional responses (sadness, outrage) about being uprooted.

Answer:

D. pathos
