The correct answer is D. Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in change

Explanation:

The word "Ethos" from the Greek language refers to the features or beliefs related to a specific person, group of people, community, society, nation, organization, among others, this implies the "Ethos" aims at describing the way a community is. The "Ethos" is one of the strategies used in persuasive speeches as the identity of one person, group of persons or organization affects the way the audience believes in an argument related to one of this. In this case, in Roosevelt speech he mentions how during all American history, their citizens had always support change, this implies Roosevelt is referring to the identity of U.S. citizens as people engaged in change, as Roosevelt is using the belief and features of American citizens to convince the audience of something, this is an example of "Ethos".
