a she makes an appeal to authority by repeating the views of a respected politician.
b she makes an appeal to credibility by mentioning how long her struggle has lasted.
c she makes an appeal to logic by citing established facts about people who break laws.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Stanton references Samuel Adams (a respected politician) to appeal to authority, as repeating his views lends credibility from his authority.
• Option B: The text doesn't mention her struggle's duration for credibility.
• Option C: She doesn't cite facts about law - breakers for logic.
• Option D: There's no emotional appeal about law - obedience sacrifice.

So the correct option is A as it accurately describes using an appeal to authority by repeating a respected politician's views.

Answer:

A. She makes an appeal to authority by repeating the views of a respected politician.
