The best answer to the question that is being stated above would be the third sentence. The meaning of 'take up' in the excerpt would be best described with the definition of 'to occupy time, space, or the attention of someone'. The mayor is asking to pay attention to grammar -which led him to be cautious of it.

Pathos appeals to emotion. (Remember it by the word "Pathological")

Logos appeals to logic. (Remember by the word "Logic," hence the definition.)
