Question

Which excerpt is an example of Logos Kennedy's address at Rice University?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. This year's space budget is three times what it was in January 1961, and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight years combined.  

Explanation:    

Philosopher Aristotle showed that there are three key drivers of persuasion and his Greek terms were ethos, logos and pathos.  

Any politician can become better at persuasion because it is a skill and skills are learned.

Ethos in persuasion is the respect and standing of the speaker himself.

Logos is logic and consistency that the other person will find compelling, when Kennedy addressed students at Rice University saying “This year's space budget is three times what it was in January 1961, and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight years combined”...

He appealed to logic, there's an obvious logic to that because his argument is based on facts and numbers.  

The last but not least is pathos and in plain English it means appealing to the emotions of the  people you're trying to persuade.

Answer 2

Answer:  The correct answer is :  D. This year's space budget is three times what it was in January 1961, and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight years combined.

 

Explanation:  The space budget is now $ 5,400 million a year, this is a pretty amazing sum, but it's a little less than we pay for cigarettes every year. Space costs will soon increase a little more, from 40 to more than 50 cents per person, per week, for every man, woman and child in the United States. We have given this program a high national priority, although this is an act of faith and vision because we do not know what benefits await us. This was said by John F. Kennedy in the moon speech at Rice University.
