Read this passage from "The American Dream." And there is another thing we see in this dream that
ultimately distinguishes democracy and our form of
government from all of the totalitarian regimes that
emerge in history. It says that each individual has
certain basic rights that are neither conferred by nor
derived from the state. To discover where they came
from it is necessary to move back behind the dim
mist of eternity, for they are God-given. Very seldom
if ever in the history of the world has a sociopolitical
document expressed in such profoundly eloquent
and unequivocal language the dignity and the worth
of human personality. The American dream reminds
us that every man is heir to the legacy of worthiness.

Which phrase from the passage reflects an appeal to
ethos?

A: "to move back behind the dim mist of eternity"

B: "such profoundly eloquent and unequivocal language"

C: "Very seldom if ever in the history of the world"

D: "every man is heir to the legacy of worthiness"
