Answer:

pathos

Step-by-step explanation:

There are mainly three types of appeals: logos, pathos and ethos. "Ethos," as a communication technique, tries to draw out the emotions of the audience by telling them a story or persuading them.

In one of Thomas Paine's writings entitled, "Common Sense," he tried to convince the Americans to break free from England. By comparing the relationship of the people to England in a similar fashion to slavery, Paine is trying to draw out from the people a realization that they should attain independence. He is therefore drawing out feelings of anger. It allows the reader to understand what Paine is trying to argue.
