Answer: It strengthens his ability to persuade through emotions.
Explanation: Satanta’s passionate tone chiefly appeals to pathos — vivid imagery, repetition, heightened language, and emotional urgency make listeners sympathize, feel outrage, and identify with his grievance. That emotional force is his primary means of persuasion in "My Heart Is Bursting." The other choices are less accurate: while intense passion may limit detailed logical argument (logos), that isn’t its main effect here, and passion generally reinforces perceived sincerity rather than diminishing credibility.
