The speech President Kennedy's Report to the American People uses logos, ethos, and pathos, which are:
forms of persuasion first presented by Aristotle.
Ethos is an appeal to ethics. Its efficacy depends directly on the credibility of the speaker. The listener will tend to trust this sort of argument when it's given by a specialist on the subject or, at least, some sort of role model.
Pathos, on the other hand, is an emotional argument. It targets shared feelings and cultural values with the goal of having the listener relate to what is being said.
Logos is a logical argument. Its credibility relies on structure and evidence, as well as coherence. The speaker must be able to walk the listener through the logical path to the conclusion they must reach.
Answer:
D). The passage fails to make a debatable claim.
Explanation:
The key weakness of the given passage is that 'it fails to establish a debatable claim.' A claim is characterized as debatable when the readers could reasonably argue on different opinions regarding it but here the 'claim regarding the presence of gothic elements' in Hawthorne's 'Scarlett Letter' and Herman Melville's 'Moby-D' is already agreed upon and accepted as a fact. Thus, <u>there remains no point in persuading the readers' to believe in it by comparing the two</u>. Another weakness of this passage is that the evidence presented here fails to support the claim. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
