logos: logic

ethos: values/beliefs

Explanation:

The passage from Brutus appeals to ethos (values/beliefs) because it taps into the shared Roman values of patriotism and national identity. By questioning who would not be a Roman or love their country, Brutus is appealing to the audience's moral and cultural values, not just logic. Ethos focuses on the audience's values, beliefs, and sense of identity, which aligns with this appeal.

Answer:

ethos: values/beliefs
