Answer 3

The lines you quoted from the Declaration of Independence are an example of the use of ethos. (C)

Explanation:
Ethos is one of the three modes of persuasion in rhetoric, along with logos and pathos. Ethos refers to the ethical appeal or credibility of the speaker or writer. In this case, the representatives of the United States of America are asserting their credibility and authority as representatives of the people, invoking the good people of the colonies as the source of their authority. They are making a solemn declaration and appealing to the "Supreme Judge of the world" to validate the rightness of their intentions. This appeal to their credibility and moral standing is an example of the use of ethos.
