Read the excerpt from President Dwight D. Eisenhower's 1961 "Farewell Address" and answer the question that follows.

 

Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all Unite States corporations.

 

Which rhetorical appeal was used in this portion of Eisenhower's speech?

◯ Ethos, because Eisenhower is listing reasons Congress should be trusted after he has left office.

◯ Logos, because Eisenhower is providing facts and statistics about military enlistments and spending.

◯ Pathos, because Eisenhower is making the audience feel sorry for him that his time as President is over.

◯ Figurative language, because Eisenhower is using a simile to make a comparison between a net and the army.
