Asap ! read the following excerpt from thomas paine’s “common sense” and answer the question that follows:
“but britain is the parent country, say some. then the more shame upon her conduct. even brutes do not devour their young, nor savages make war upon their families. wherefore, the assertion, if true, turns to her reproach; but it happens not to be true, or only partly so, and the phrase parent or mother country hath been jesuitically adopted by the king and his parasites, with a low papistical design of gaining an unfair bias on the credulous weakness of our minds. europe, and not england, is the parent country of america. this new world hath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from every part of europe.”
the line “but britain is the parent country, say some.” shows an example of what?
a. logos
b. pathos
c. ethos
d. precedent
