two speeches by queen elizabeth i
by queen elizabeth i
address to the troops at tilbury
my loving people!
we have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety to take
heed how we commit our selves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery;
but i assure you, i do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving
people
let tyrants fear, i have always so behaved myself, that, under god, i have
placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good will
of my subjects, and therefore i am come amongst you, as you see, at this
time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved in the midst and
heat of the battle, to live or die among you all, to lay down for my god, and
for my kingdoms, and for my people, my honour, and my blood, even in the
dust.
i know i have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but i have the
heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of england too, and think foul
scorn that parma or spain, or any prince of europe, should dare to invade
the borders of my realm; to which, rather than any dishonour shall grow by
me, i myself will take up arms, i myself will be your general, judge, and
rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field.
i know already, for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the rhetorical appeals (pathos, logos) in Queen Elizabeth I's speeches:

Step 1: Analyze the Tilbury Speech (to troops)

In the Address to the Troops at Tilbury, Elizabeth uses pathos (emotional appeal) to connect with the troops. Phrases like “my loving people,” “faithful and loving people,” and emphasizing her willingness to “live or die among you all” appeal to emotions (loyalty, unity, shared purpose) to convince them of her leadership capabilities. Logos (logical appeal) would involve facts/reasoning, but this speech relies on emotion.

Step 2: Analyze the Parliament Speech (implied, from context)

When speaking to Parliament, Elizabeth uses logos (logical appeal) to provide rational explanations (e.g., justifying her actions or decisions with reason) to convince lawmakers. Pathos would involve shaming (emotional), but logos fits “rational explanations.”

Step 3: Evaluate the Options

• The second option states: “When speaking to her troops, Queen Elizabeth appeals to pathos to convince the troops of her capabilities as a leader. When speaking to Parliament, Queen Elizabeth appeals to logos to make members feel ashamed of their request.” Wait, no—“make members feel ashamed” is pathos, but the first part (pathos to troops) is correct. Wait, recheck:

Wait, the correct reasoning is:

• To troops: Pathos (emotional appeal to loyalty, shared sacrifice) to prove leadership.
• To Parliament: Logos (rational, logical arguments) to convince lawmakers.

Among the boxes, the second box (middle) says: “When speaking to her troops, Queen Elizabeth appeals to pathos to convince the troops of her capabilities as a leader. When speaking to Parliament, Queen Elizabeth appeals to logos to make members feel ashamed of their request.” Wait, “make members feel ashamed” is pathos, but the first clause (pathos to troops) matches. Wait, no—let’s re-express:

The correct box is the second one (the middle box) because:

• Troops: Pathos (emotional appeal) to convince them of her leadership.
• Parliament: Logos (rational appeal) to persuade (even if “make members feel ashamed” is slightly off, it’s the closest match to the rhetorical appeals).

1. Tilbury Speech (Troops): Elizabeth uses pathos (emotional appeal) to connect with the troops (e.g., “loving people,” “live or die among you”), convincing them of her leadership.
2. Parliament Speech (Implied): She uses logos (logical/rational explanations) to persuade lawmakers. The middle box correctly identifies “pathos to troops” and “logos to Parliament” (even if the “ashamed” detail is slightly imperfect, it aligns best with the appeals).

Answer:

The middle box (the second text box)
