Abolition and Women’s Rights Movements, Part 2 — Quiz

Question 6 • Language Arts 11

Which excerpt from "Ain't I a Woman?" is the best example of logos?

Answer

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!

Explanation

Logos appeals to reasoning and logical support for a claim. Choice C argues that if one woman was strong enough to change the world, then women together should be able to change it back. The conclusion follows from a comparison, making this the clearest example of logos; the other excerpts focus more on personal experience or emotion.
