Answer:

By establishing the source of the representatives’ authority

Explanation:

Ethos is a mode of persuasion that uses or mentions a source or figure that shows credibility, expertise or prestige in order to convince an audience that the information given is reliable, valid, or worth listening.

So, by establishing the source of the representatives’ authority: "the good People of these Colonies", which shows that the declaration of independence comes from the ideas of good people, Thomas Jefferson is using ethos as a rhetorical appeal.

Which three parts of this excerpt from Frankenstein show that the creature is innocent and helpless like a newborn child when it
Debora [2.8K]

Part I 

"A strange multiplicity of sensations seized me, and I saw, felt, heard, and smelt, at the same time. "

This part of the excerpt shows that the speaker is experiencing impulses of a newborn who is just starting to be aware of his senses. 

Part II

"I knew, and could distinguish, nothing." 

This reflects innocence and lack of experience or knowledge.

Part III

"Sometimes I wished to express my sensations in my own mode, but the uncouth and inarticulate sounds which broke from me frightened me into silence again.'

This mirrors a baby's innocence and  puerile attempt to express feelings.

Which of the following lines is a cliché?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

A cliché is a sentence or phrase that has been used too many times that it has lost its significance, for which it had been once important. Another characteristic of a cliché is that they intend to add greatness to a very repetitive and overly used concept. The romantic movies would be a good example of it, we all know love is a nice experience, but in romance movies they tend to exaggerate the feeling by making it look heavenly all the time, which we all know it is not that way all the time.

From the options we have here the lines that represent a cliché better is:

4. A thing of beauty is a joy forever

This saying has the two main characteristics of a cliché, it has been said too many times, and it talks about beauty and joy forever. We know that nothing has beauty and produces joy forever, hence this is the perfect example of a cliché.
