Which mode of persuasion does President Roosevelt use to appeal to his audience?

(C.) logos, an appeal to the audience’s sense of logic
(D.) an appeal based on emotion, logic, and the speaker’s credibility

(A.) ethos, an appeal based on the speaker’s credibility

Explanation:

Ethos also known as the appeal to ethics is a way of convincing an audience on a particular topic on the basis of the credibility or authority of the speaker. In this executive order by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the audience would be moved to act on the orders given in this speech because of the credibility or authority of the speaker.

The audience base their trust in what the speaker says because they believe that he has sufficient knowledge on the matter and further evidence to this can be seen in the authority he holds on the subject being discussed.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
