Read the excerpts from Queen Elizabeth’s speeches.

Excerpts from Queen Elizabeth I speeches. The first is from her Address to the Troops at Tilbury. The second is from her Response to Parliament's Request That She Marry.

In excerpts from both Address to the Troops at Tilbury and Response to Parliament's Request That She Marry, Queen Elizabeth uses a rhetorical appeal to

pathos by encouraging her audience to feel emotions including pride.
logos by reminding her audience that they will be rewarded for their work.
pathos by making her audience feel ashamed for doubting her capabilities.
logos by providing her audience with a list of the reasons why she is grateful.

Answer 1

pathos by encouraging her audience to feel emotions including pride.

Both speeches appeal to emotion: at Tilbury she rallies the troops’ pride and loyalty ("I have the body of a weak, feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king"), and in her reply about marriage she frames her unmarried state as a patriotic sacrifice, asking for trust and inspiring devotion.
