Question

read this excerpt from the declaration of independence: we have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. we have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. we have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations... which of these rhetorical devices is most clearly used here? a. ethos b. kairos c. inductive reasoning d. parallelism

Explanation:

The excerpt uses repeated sentence structures starting with "We have + [verb]", which is the core feature of parallelism. Ethos relies on credibility, kairos on timing, and inductive reasoning on specific-to-general logic, none of which match the clear structural repetition here.

Answer:

D. Parallelism
