Read this excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech:
Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And
some of you have come from areas where your quest -
quest for freedom - left you battered by the storms of
persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality.
You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue
to work with the faith that unearned suffering is
redemptive.

Answer 2

These are the options for the question:

A. Pathos

B. Deductive logic

C. Inductive logic

D. Ethos

And this is the correct answer:

A. Pathos

Step-by-step explanation:

The word pathos comes from Greek pathea, whichi means "suffering".

As the etimology implies, pathos is a rethorical device that appeals to emotion. When a person in a speech uses pathos, is using language and gestures that have the goal of eliciting emotion from the audience.

That is exactly what Martin Luther King Jr is doing in the excerpt.
