Question

read the passage from response to erik of sweden. it seems strange for your serene highness to write that you understand from your brother and your ambassadors that we have entirely determined not to marry an absent husband; and that we shall give you no certain reply until we shall have seen your person. in the passage, elizabeth appeals to the prince of swedens character. credibility. emotions. logic.

Explanation:

Elizabeth is using logical reasoning. She points out the inconsistency (it's strange) in the Prince's understanding based on what he heard from his brother and ambassadors. She presents a rational argument about not marrying an absent husband and not giving a certain reply until seeing him in person. This is a logical appeal rather than an appeal to character (no mention of his traits), credibility (no discussion of trust - worthiness in a non - logical sense), or emotions (no emotional language like love, fear etc.).

Answer:

logic
