What rhetorical strategy is Wiesel using in the passage?(APEX)

Passage:
The depressing tale of the St. Louis is a case in point. Sixty years ago, its human cargo - nearly 1,000 Jews - was turned back to Nazi Germany. And that happened after the Kristallnacht, after the first state sponsored pogrom, with hundreds of Jewish shops destroyed, synagogues burned, thousands of people put in concentration camps. And that ship, which was already in the shores of the United States, was sent back.

Answers:
A.) Rhetorical questioning, by asking what the audience would do
B.) Pathos, by giving the exact number of Jews that were killed
C.) Logos, by showing a specific example of the cost of indifference
D.) Ethos, by retelling a sad and depressing story about death

In this passage, Wiesel gives a specific example of the cost of indifference. Specifically, thanks to the indifference of the United States, 1000 lives were needlessly lost when a ship was sent back to Nazi Germany.

Answer A can be eliminated because no question is being asked in the passage. Answer B can be eliminated because the exact number killed is mentioned but is not the focus of the passage. Finally, Answer D can be eliminated because he is not retelling a sad story about death.

The main idea of the passage is that the indifference of the US resulted in the deaths of those aboard the St. Louis.
