address to the troops at tilbury
in the mean time my lieutenant - general shall be in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble or worthy subject, not doubting but by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies of god, of my kingdoms, and of my people
response to parliaments request that she marry
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.
how does the rhetorical appeal used in these excerpts from queen elizabeths address to the troops at tilbury and response to parliaments request that she marry compare?
both use an appeal to logos by providing a reason to support her purpose.
both use an appeal to logos by encouraging her audience to show strength.
both use an appeal to ethos by listing credentials to support her credibility.

Explanation:

• Logos is an appeal to logic. In the first excerpt, she gives a logical reason (troops' obedience, camp concord, valour will lead to victory) for her purpose (motivating troops). In the second, she gives a logical reason (issue may be ungracious) for not marrying.
• The second option about showing strength is not a common logos - related for the second text. The third option about ethos (credibility through credentials) is not relevant as there are no credentials listed here.

Answer:

A. Both use an appeal to logos by providing a reason to support her purpose.
