Explanation:

Pathos is an appeal to emotions. The author mentions "my Latina heritage" which is likely to evoke emotions in the audience related to identity, culture, etc. The first and third options are appeals to values (logos - more about logical or value - based reasoning rather than emotions). The fourth option's statement is more of a factual - like assertion about judging differences rather than an emotional appeal. The second option, by bringing up "my Latina heritage", is an attempt to connect with the audience on an emotional level (e.g., pride in heritage, understanding of cultural identity).

Answer:

The author appeals to the audience's emotions by saying, "my Latina heritage."
