Which of these quotations from "Words Do Not Pay" most clearly uses the persuasive technique of an appeal to reason?

I do not understand why nothing is done for my people. I have heard talk and talk, but nothing is done.

I am tired of talk that comes to nothing. It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and all the broken promises.
