Answer

Brief Explanations:

The excerpt presents a specific event (burning of the novel, book banning) with details like date, location, and a school board member's quote, which are factual. This factual evidence is used to appeal to the reader's logic (logos) to show the destructive nature of censorship. The other options: the event is factual, not just a "painful event" for sympathy (pathos); referencing the novel isn't about credibility (ethos) here; and it's not a strong opinion but factual details.

Answer:

A. factual evidence is used to appeal to the reader’s sense of logic
