Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Pathos appeals to emotions. A poem can evoke feelings, and using it in a speech conclusion (especially in a context like a speech likely addressing a significant event, as quoting a poem by a WWII pilot might be emotional) is an appeal to pathos.
  • Ethos is about credibility (e.g., citing an expert's credentials to build trust). Here, it's not about building the speaker's credibility through his own or the poet's authority in a non - emotional, credibility - building way for the argument's sake (like a scientific expert for a scientific claim).
  • Logos is about logic and reasoning (e.g., presenting facts and data). A poem quote in a speech conclusion is more likely to be an emotional appeal rather than a logical one.
