The correct answer is option letter B (logos). Taken from the United States Declaration of Independence (1776) written by Thomas Jefferson, the excerpt presented above is an example of the use of logos, a literary device that can be an argument or a statement used to convince or persuade the targeted audience. These lines are part of the second part of the Declaration of Independence and here the author explains to the audience why the colonies wanted to separate and all the transgressions the British government made against the colonists.

The correct option is B: logos.

The Logos uses the logic in order to reach a good level of discourse. We use logos to make ourselves clear and sound convincing whenever we speak in public.

In this way, the Declaration of Independence uses logos to convince those who read it.
