Question

read the excerpt from \take the tortillas out of your poetry.\
for me, reading has always been a path toward liberation and fulfillment. to learn to read is to start down the road of liberation, a road which should be accessible to everyone. no one has the right to keep you from reading, and yet that is what is happening in many areas in this country today. there are those who think they know best what we should read. these censors are at work in all areas of our daily lives.
to convince readers that censors have unjust motives, the author uses rhetoric to appeal mostly to
options: logic, characters, ethics, emotion

Explanation:

The author argues that reading is a path to liberation and should be accessible, and censors (who claim to know best what we read) are unjust. This appeals to ethics as it's about what is morally right (access to reading, opposing unjust censorship). Logic would involve more reasoning with facts/evidence, characters aren't the focus, and emotion would use more emotional language (this is more about moral rightness).

Answer:

ethics
