Which excerpt from "Ain't I a Woman?" is the best example of logos?
Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain’t I a woman?
Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman?
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again.
I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me!

The third excerpt: "If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again."
Why: it uses a logical analogy/argument — a premise about the demonstrated strength of one woman is used to infer a conclusion about the combined power of many women. That reasoning (premise → conclusion) is a clear example of logos. The other excerpts rely more on emotional appeal or personal testimony (pathos/ethos).
