B

C

Explanation

Logos appeals to an audience through logic and reasoning. Showing how evidence supports and connects to ideas helps build a logical argument, so the correct choice is “showing how evidence and ideas are linked together.” Credible sources are more closely associated with ethos, while emotional emphasis and a passionate tone are associated with pathos.
