Question

read the excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt’s first inaugural address.
we are, i know, ready and willing to submit our lives and property to such discipline, because it makes possible a leadership which aims at a larger good. this i propose to offer, pledging that the larger purposes will bind upon us all as a sacred obligation with a unity of duty hitherto evoked only in time of armed strife.
select the best rhetorical appeal evident in this excerpt.
○ ethos
○ logos
○ pathos
○ chronos

Explanation:

Ethos appeals to credibility, shared values, and moral obligation. In this excerpt, Roosevelt frames the collective commitment to discipline and larger good as a "sacred obligation" tied to unity similar to wartime duty, leveraging shared moral values and his authoritative stance as a leader to persuade. Logos relies on logic/reason (not present here), Pathos appeals to emotion (no emotional language is central here), and Chronos is not a standard rhetorical appeal.

Answer:

Ethos
