Question

read the excerpt from queen elizabeths response to parliaments request that she marry. as i have good cause, so do i give you all my hearty thanks for the good zeal and loving care you seem to have, as well towards me as to the whole estate of your country. in this excerpt, queen elizabeth relies heavily on a rhetorical appeal to pathos by encouraging an emotional response from the audience. establishing her credibility as a capable leader. providing a logical reason for trusting her leadership skills. demonstrating her ability to speak persuasively.

Explanation:

Pathos is an appeal to emotion. Queen Elizabeth thanks the audience for their "good zeal and loving care", which is likely to evoke an emotional response. Establishing credibility (ethos) and providing logical reasons (logos) are different rhetorical appeals. Demonstrating speaking ability is not directly related to pathos.

Answer:

encouraging an emotional response from the audience.
