From his mother's loving arms, Wind-Wolf was placed in a secure and specially designed Indian baby basket. His
father and the medicine elders conducted another
ceremony to bond him with the essence of his genetic
father, the Great Spirit, the Grandfather Sun, and the
Grandmother Moon. This was all done in order to introduce
him into the natural world, and to protect his soul. It is our
people's way of showing the newborn respect, ensuring
that he starts life on the path of spirituality.
- Medicine Grizzlybear Lake, "An Indian Father's Plea"

B. Because it shows that his son comes from a strange and
unfamiliar culture
C. Because it uses an expert source to explain an element of his
son's culture

D). Because it uses specific evidence to support his argument.

Explanation:

'Logos' is characterized as one of the three persuasive devices(as described by Aristotle) that aims to convince the readers by appealing to them logically. He calls it a 'reasoned discourse' where the author establishes the validity of the argument by providing adequate evidence like facts, citations, specific data, etc. to substantiate the claim.

As per the question, the given passage exemplifies Lake's use of logos as it involves particular evidence to back the claim mentioned in the argument. The factual description of 'the way in which a newborn is initiated to the natural world aiming to display respect to him' logically supports the claim of placing the Wind-wolf in a secured basket and holding the ceremony to get along with it. Thus, it appeals to the readers' reasoning/logic and they believe the claim to be true. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

a simile is first defined as a type of speech that uses one thing or phrase with comparisons to things of an unrelated kind, often in order to make a more vivacious description. so of the phrases above, only the last one (i swear she cast a shadow white as stone) would be considered a simile, as a shadow white as stone takes two unrelated things and uses them in an interesting way.
