In which excerpt from harriet tubman: conductor on the underground railroad is tubman using pathos? “she tried to explain to them why none of them could go back to the plantation. if a runaway returned, he would turn traitor, the master and the overseer would force him to turn traitor.” “then she told them of her own first vain effort at running away, evoking the memory of that miserable life she had led as a child, reliving it for a moment in the telling.” “she started talking about william still and the philadelphia vigilance committee. no one commented. no one asked any questions. she told them the story of william and ellen craft and how they escaped from georgia.” “she said that he had thick white hair, soft, almost like a baby's, and the kindest eyes she had ever seen. he was a big man and strong, but he had never used his strength to harm anyone, always to people.”

The excerpt in which Harriet Tubman is using pathos rhetoric is the last one: "She said that he had thick white hair, soft, almost like a baby's, and the kindest eyes she had ever seen. He was a big man and strong, but he had never used his strenght to harm anyone, always to help people."

Pathos appeals to the audience's emotions, addressing their hopes or feelings like compassion, sympathy or fear. In this excerpt, she is describing an old Quaker that helped fugitive slaves. Because he was good to them, she presents him in a very possitive manner, contrasting his appearance with his deeds in order to obtain a sympathetic effect from the audience.

i believe the answer is: b. mr. head had a long, tube-like face with a rounded open jaw and a short depressed nose.

this is because in the un-revised sentence it said that mr. heads face was long and tube-like, and he had a rounded open jaw. this is not a very grammatically correct because of how it seems to drag on with the and, replaced with, with, makes it sound more fluent in the description.
