Explanation:

B). Edgar Allan Poe demonstrates ethos by including references to numerous literary works.

Explanation:

As per the question, the statement that asserts a false claim is displayed through the second option as Poe does not involve 'ethos'(ethical appeal) to persuade the readers to believe in his proposed 'theory of a good writer' but he rather employs 'logos' as the persuasive technique(as displayed through option A) to offer significant considerations(for creating a good work).

The other options advocate true claims. Option A is true as 'The Philosophy of Composition' employs 'logos' more effectively than 'On Writing' which uses 'pathos' primarily. Options C and D are also true as King's 'On Writing' in memoir employs more ethos(in comparison to Poe) to establish the credibility and pathos to convince the readers to accept his writing strategies. Thus, option B asserts a false claim.
