Question

which statement from \aint i a woman?\ is an example of pathos?
well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter
that man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere.
i have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when i cried out with my mothers grief, none but jesus heard me!
if my cup wont hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldnt you be mean not to let me have my little half - measure full?

Explanation:

Pathos appeals to emotions. The statement about bearing children and seeing them sold into slavery evokes strong feelings of sorrow and injustice, which is characteristic of pathos. The other options either state facts (B), use a metaphor (D), or make a general observation (A) without the same emotional - laden content as option C.

Answer:

C. I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me!
