Question

which type of appeal to the audience does mark antony make in this line from julius caesar?

caesar was my friend, faithful and just to me:

a. pathos

b. rhetoric

c. logos

d. ethos

Explanation:

To determine the appeal, we analyze each option:

• Pathos (A) appeals to emotions, but this line focuses on character/relationship, not emotion.
• Rhetoric (B) is a general term for persuasive language, not a specific appeal type.
• Logos (C) appeals to logic/reason, which is not present here.
• Ethos (D) appeals to credibility/character. Mark Antony emphasizes his personal relationship with Caesar (friendship, faithfulness) to establish trust and credibility with the audience, fitting Ethos.

Answer:

D. Ethos
