Read this passage from "The American Dream."

And there is another thing we see in this dream that ultimately distinguishes democracy and our form of government from all of the totalitarian regimes that emerge in history. It says that each individual has certain basic rights that are neither conferred by nor derived from the state. To discover where they came from it is necessary to move back behind the dim mist of eternity, for they are God-given. Very seldom if ever in the history of the world has a sociopolitical document expressed in such profoundly eloquent and unequivocal language the dignity and the worth of human personality. The American dream reminds us that every man is heir to the legacy of worthiness.

Which phrase from the passage reflects an appeal to ethos?

“to move back behind the dim mist of eternity”
“such profoundly eloquent and unequivocal language”
“Very seldom if ever in the history of the world”
“every man is heir to the legacy of worthiness”
