What is an example of paine’s use of ethos

An example of ethos taking from "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine is when he mentions that he bases his point of view on simple facts, plain arguments and common sense.

Paine believes that the American colonies should start a war in order to separate from Britain. He uses logos, pathos and ethos to show his point.

- "the die is cast; i have consented to return if we are not destroyed. thus are my hopes blasted by cowardice and indecision; i come back ignorant and disappointed. it requires more philosophy than i possess to bear this injustice with patience. i have lost my hopes of utility and glory; i have lost my friend."

synonim for get by is to survive, therefore, the answer is survive.
