“when in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” these lines from the declaration of independence are an example of the use of a) logos b) pathos c) purpose d)thesis

It's not quite logos, not yet. It will be when the reasons for the separation start pouring out. There are quite a number of them.

It's not pathos either. Pathos is an emotional appeal. None of the men making the Declaration were making the appeal on the grounds that they had any emotional reason for demanding their independence.

By a very very narrow margin, I would say this is a purpose rather than a thesis. A thesis outlines what will come in the paragraphs to follow. A purpose tells us what we are about to find out and why this separation is about to take place.

It's a very narrow choice. I would choose C, but I'd never be surprised to learn that your marker believes it is D.

A) Logos

Explanation:

In this passage, the author employs logos. Logos is a rhetorical device that refers to the use of logic and arguments. In these lines, the author outlines his reasons for writing the Declaration of Independence. These reasons include the fact that a basic level of respect for English people lead Americans to explain their separation. This is a logical argument that justifies the existence of the document.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

in general, fiction refers to plot, settings, and characters created from the imagination, while nonfiction refers to factual stories focused on actual events and people. however, the difference between these two genres is sometimes blurred, as the two often intersect.
