Read the excerpt from "To the Public” by William Lloyd Garrison.

I am aware, that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation.

Which statement best explains how figurative language affects the rhetorical appeal?

Simile is used to create pathos, which shows how passionate Garrison is about ending slavery.
Irony is used to create logos, which shows that the course of action Garrison suggests is the best one.
Personification is used to create ethos, which shows that Garrison is prepared to follow through with action.
Hyperbole is used to create kairos, which shows the urgency of the tasks Garrison describes.
