Answer

Answer:

A. By showing the soundness of his argument through a number of analogies

Brief Explanations:

Thoreau uses analogies like comparing men to machines, wood, earth, and stones. Logos is about logical reasoning. Analogies help present a logical argument. Here, by using these analogies, he shows the logical point that men are acting without free judgment (like machines/non - living things). Option B is about pathos (emotional appeal - fear). Option C is more about using connotations (which is related to word choice for effect, not logos). Option D is incorrect as there are no examples from different fields; it's mainly analogies.
