PLEASE HELP ILL MARK BRAINIEST. Read an excerpt from President Barack Obama's 2011 Address to Congress on the American Jobs Act. This past week, reporters have been asking, “What will this speech mean for the President? What will it mean for Congress? How will it affect their polls, and the next election?” But the millions of Americans who are watching right now, they don’t care about politics. They have real-life concerns. Many have spent months looking for work. Others are doing their best just to scrape by -- giving up nights out with the family to save on gas or make the mortgage; postponing retirement to send a kid to college. These men and women grew up with faith in an America where hard work and responsibility paid off. They believed in a country where everyone gets a fair shake and does their fair share -- where if you stepped up, did your job, and were loyal to your company, that loyalty would be rewarded with a decent salary and good benefits; maybe a raise once in a while. If you did the right thing, you could make it. Anybody could make it in America. For decades now, Americans have watched that compact erode. They have seen the decks too often stacked against them. And they know that Washington has not always put their interests first. How does the president use pathos to achieve his purpose?

A. By listing hardships faced by Americans to create feelings of empathy

B. By explaining how people have lost trust in America to show why the Jobs Act is logical

C. By imagining a better future to give Americans hope

D. By sharing a personal story about a reporter to help Americans understand his priorities
