Read the excerpt from "Indian Emigration.”

[W]hen the game becomes scarce, by being killed up, or driven farther westward, how will [other Indigenous people] support themselves? penetrate farther into the forest, or turn their attention to agricultural pursuits? suppose the latter, and where will they have sufficiency of good lands for cultivation? In the event we were to remove and be united with them, our laws would clash with theirs, we should have our own peculiar partialities and prejudices, and they would have theirs; in consequence of this difference perhaps a few avaricious speculating individuals would solicit from the General Government, a set of laws, as stipulated in the 6th article of the treaty. Imagine then how our internal affairs would be regulated, harrassed [sic] on the one side, and embarrassed on the other. Repentance then for the past would be too late.

How does the author best develop pathos in this excerpt?

by citing the sixth article of the treaty as evidence of the US government forcing laws on the Cherokee
by explaining the possible outcomes if the Cherokee were to live with other Indigenous people
by concluding with a statement warning that repentance for past actions toward the Cherokee would be too late
by asking questions to demonstrate the ability to predict what various tribes want for themselves
