Question

read the excerpt from \for the cherokee phoenix.\ but here i pause, in melancholy suspense, in view of the storm that is gathering over our beloved country, the ottoman - like policy, that threatens to entomb our laws, our most sacred rights and privileges in oblivion, and to put an end to our national existence. in this excerpt, the author creates an appeal to

• logic.
• emotion.
• authority.
• timeliness.

Explanation:

The excerpt uses words like "melancholy suspense," "beloved country," and describes threats to "sacred rights" and "national existence." These are emotional appeals (pathos) to evoke feelings of concern, sadness, or patriotism. "Logic" would involve facts/arguments, "authority" appeals to credibility, and "timeliness" is about urgency of time, none of which match here.

Answer:

B. emotion
