Answer

Brief Explanations:

Demosthenes describes the fate of people in Oreus and the democracy of Eretria (now slaves, scourged and butchered) to make his audience (men of Athens) fear a similar outcome if they make wrong decisions (like entrusting to Philip's friends or driving away envoys). This is an appeal to fear, not empathy (no focus on sharing grief) or metaphor (no figurative language about democracy as something else).

Answer:

He appeals to his audience's fears.
