Question

1. brutus says: “believe me on my honor and keep my honor in mind, so you may believe me.” what appeal is he using?

○ pathos (emotion)
○ logos (logic/reasoning)
○ ethos (credibility)

Explanation:

Ethos is an appeal to credibility or ethics, often using one's reputation or honor to persuade. Brutus refers to "my honor" to ask others to believe him, relying on his perceived credibility from his honor. Pathos appeals to emotion, and Logos to logic/reasoning, which don't fit here as the focus is on honor (credibility).

Answer:

C. Ethos (Credibility)
