Question

read the excerpt from queen elizabeths address to the troops at tilbury.
i know i have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but i have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of england too, and think foul scorn that parma or spain, or any prince of europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which, rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, i myself will take up arms, i myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field.
in this excerpt, queen elizabeth relies heavily on a rhetorical appeal to ethos to establish that she has the qualities
leader
woman
judge
speaker

Explanation:

Ethos here focuses on establishing the speaker's credibility as a capable authority for the troops. Queen Elizabeth frames herself as a resolute, authoritative figure ready to lead, judge, and reward her soldiers, positioning herself as a worthy leader to inspire trust and loyalty. The other options do not align: she downplays her identity as a "weak and feeble woman" here, "judge" is only one small role she mentions, and "speaker" is too generic.

Answer:

leader
