Read the passage. excerpt from "give me liberty, or give me death! " by patrick henry sir, we have done everything that could be done, to avert the storm which is now coming on. we have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and parliament. our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. refer to explorations in literature for a complete version of this speech. which statement best describes patrick henry's use of logos in this excerpt? he lists the actions taken by america to ensure peace, to establish the reasons why war is inevitable. he presents the crimes committed against the american people by the british government, to create outrage. he describes current events to create anger toward the british and present the moral argument for war. he explains what has occurred under his watch to reinforce his authority and knowledge on the subject.

He lists the actions taken by America to ensure peace, to establish the reasons why war is inevitable.

Explanation:

Logos is used to demonstrate the use of reason in a speech. When the speaker is speaking and using the logos, that speaker is making an appeal to logic and reason by promoting the logical inductive or deductive reasoning of his audience about a relevant situation.

The above text is loaded with pathos, which is a call to emotion, but we can easily find the call to logos in the speaker's speech when we can see that he lists the actions taken by the United States to guarantee peace and establish the reasons why war is inevitable.
