Explanation:
Burthen - meaning, weight, significance
Recompense-reward
Loon-a silly or foolish person
Rill-a small stream
Measure-the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music
<u>Explanation:</u>
The words that have been given in the poem have meanings like rill means a small stream, a loon person is one who is silly or a foolish person. Recompense is the reward given for the compensation of the loss.
Burthen is the archaic form of "burden" which means "weight/significance/or meaning". All these words add meaning to the lines of the poem and help the readers understand the meaning of the poems by measuring those.

The statement which is best supported by text evidence from the excerpt is:
A. Heating was a generally known means of reading invisible ink.
Explanation:

Heating was so well know that Jay was sure the enemy would try to use it to reveal the writings in the messages. However, his new ink would not appear with heating. It needed another chemical to be made visible.</u>
We can easily eliminate the other options. The excerpt does not give us enough information to infer that Jay was seen as a hero. At no point does the passage lead us to understand that the British also had access to the ink. Finally, the excerpt does not at all say that Washington helped develop the new invisible ink.
The mode of persuasion "ethos" appeals to beliefs or ideals of a community and also an authority figure's character or credibility to influence individuals through morals.
In the famous play "Julius Caesar", Mark Anthony changed the opinion of the Romans by making them hate Brutus and the conspirators using "ethos" to put their credibility on the spot with irony and sarcasm when he repeatedly calls them "Honorable Men"; on the other hand he praise Caesar's loyalty to him when he calls him "His faithful friend", making people empathize with his character.
