Question

Which of the following passages from edward abbeys the damnation of a canyon best demonstrates his use of ethos to build his argument

A. One should admit at the outset to a certain bias. Indeed I am a "butterfly chaser, googly eyed bleeding heart and wild conservative.
B. Lake Powell, formed by Glen Canyon Dam, is not a lake. It is a reservoir, with a constantly fluctuating water level more like a bathtub that is never drained than a true lake.
C. The difference between the present reservoir, with its silent sterile shores and debris–choked side canyons, and the original Glen Canyon, is the difference between death and life. Glen Canyon was alive. Lake Powell is a graveyard.
D. In the summer and fall of 1967 I worked as a seasonal park ranger at the new Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. During my five–month tour of duty I worked at the main marina and headquarters area called Wahweap, at Bullfrog Basin toward the upper end of the reservoir, and finally at Lee's Ferry downriver from Glen Canyon Dam.

What do you think?

Answer 2

old question but will respond so this can be closed

recall that ethos refers to the use of an author's credibility/credentials to support their argument

look for the choice where the author refers to their own credentials to support their position
