Answer:

The excerpt is taken from ‘The Declaration of Independence.’ The rhetorical device used in the underlined portion of the text is ‘Pathos.’ Pathos is the quality which arouses sadness or sympathy. It can also evoke compassion. Therefore, the rhetorical device used in the given excerpt is pathos as it makes the readers sympathize towards their people. In the excerpt from ‘The Declaration of Independence,’ none of the other rhetorical devices would seem fit.
