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 mother’s grief, none but jesus heard me!
if my cup won’t hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn’t you be mean not to let me have my little half-measure full?

Explanation:

Pathos appeals to emotions. The statement about bearing thirteen children, seeing them sold into slavery, and crying with a mother’s grief evokes empathy and sadness by sharing a personal, tragic experience, which is a classic use of pathos. The other options either set a scene (first), present an opposing view (second), or use a logical analogy (fourth) rather than appealing to emotions.

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!
