For those who may think I exaggerate the contrast between the former river canyon and the present man-
made impoundment, I suggest a trip on Lake Powell
followed immediately by another boat trip on the river
below the dam. Take a boat from Lee's Ferry up the river to
within sight of the dam, then shut off the motor and allow
yourself the rare delight of a quiet, effortless drifting down
the stream. In that twelve-mile stretch of living green,
singing birds, flowing water and untarnished canyon walls
– sights and sounds a million years older and infinitely
lovelier than the roar of motorboats - you will redisco
small and imperfect sampling of the kind of experience
that was taken away from everybody when the oligarch
and politicians condemned our river for purposes of their
a
own.

A. Pathos

B. Ethos

A. Pathos

Explanation:

Pathos is a rhetorical technique that appeals to an audience's emotions. To persuade them, an argument that creates an emotional reaction is made. Especially used in literature to spark specific feelings from readers. In this case, Abbey applies it by describing the "living green, singing birds" and how lovely the "sights and sounds" of the river are in order to make her point.
