Answer 2

A. Pathos

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to appeal to a wider audience, the authors use the phrase "our British brethren." This is done for two purposes. The first one was that the authors wanted to increase the validity of their grievances by showing that they were not the only people who would agree with the statements. However, the phrase is also used in order to appeal to the readers emotions. This device is called "pathos." By using this strategy, the authors can better connect with the audience through a sense of unity and commonality.
