Which phrase from the passage reflects an appeal to ethos?
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.
O "to move back behind the dim mist of eternity"
O'such profoundly eloquent and unequivocal
language"
O "Very seldom if ever in the history of the world"
O "every man is heir to the legacy of worthiness"
