**correct answer gets brainliest**

read the following excerpt from a persuasive essay on "blood diamonds."

"just as it is wrong for governments to allow the sale of diamonds that fund a war effort, it is wrong for jewelers to buy these diamonds."

which line of argument is used in this excerpt?

a) using examples to support a claim
b) using an inverse analogy
c) use of pathos
d) using correlative

i think the answer is either A or B but i think its A.

C) Use of Pathos

Explanation:

The author uses "Pathos" to connect two ideas in order to create a comparison or contrast the reader can easily identify through an emotional response. In this case "Just as it is wrong for governments to allow the sale of diamonds that fund a war effort," clearly states that it is a contradiction to use the bloody money of selling such diamonds in order to "legally" combat the exploitaion of those very diamonds.  Such a statement compared with "it is wrong for jewelers to buy these diamonds." sets the viewpoint that both parties are incurring in a criminal action given the fact that it is well-known the illegal origin of these diamonds. In the end, it can be inferred that a third party is involved "unwillingly", that is, the end user, the customer who buys a diamond believing its source is legal, not knowing that "unwillingly" is abettor of the extraction of "blood diamonds". Pathos is intended to evoke this exact kind of emotions: surprise, anger, disgust, frustration, etc.
