Question

which excerpts from queen elizabeths response to parliaments request that she marry rely on a rhetorical appeal to logos to persuade her audience that even if she produced an heir it would not guarantee englands prosperity or safety? select two options
i give you all my hearty thanks for the good zeal and loving care you seem to have
you may well assure yourselves, my meaning is not to determine anything
i always continued in this determination, although my youth and words may seem to some hardly to agree together yet is it most true
the realm shall not remain destitute of any heir that may be a fit governour, and peradventure more beneficial to the realm
for though i be never so careful of your well - doing, and mind ever so to be, yet may my issue grow out of kind, and become perhaps ungracious

Explanation:

• The first selected excerpt uses logical reasoning by suggesting an heir’s fitness (not just existence) matters for prosperity, undermining the assumption that any heir guarantees safety.
• The second excerpt logically points out the uncertainty of an heir’s character (even with her care), showing an heir could harm rather than secure England, thus appealing to logos.

Answer:

The realm shall not remain destitute of any heir that may be a fit governour, and peradventure more beneficial to the realm.
For though I be never so careful of your well-doing, and mind ever so to be, yet may my issue grow out of kind, and become perhaps ungracious.
