Which excerpt from Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad is the best example of Tubman using pathos?
a: “Sometimes she told them about Thomas Garrett, in Wilmington. She said he was their friend even though he did not know them.”
b: “She told them about Frederick Douglass, the most famous of the escaped slaves, of his eloquence, of his magnificent appearance.”
c: “She had told them about the place where they would stay, promising warmth and good food, holding these things out to them as an incentive to keep going.”
d: “She told them the story of William and Ellen Craft and how they escaped from Georgia.”

I'm not sure which one evokes a quality of pity or sadness without context of the stories... I would try D but I am not sure. I'm sorry but hope this helps.
