Question

What are the three primary methods of persuasion, and to which emotion does each appeal?

Answer 1

The answer is

D. ethos; appeals to ethics

logos; appeals to logic

pathos; appeals to emotions

Answer 2

d.ethos; appeals to ethics, logos; appeals to logic, pathos; appeals to emotions The key thing here is understanding the 6 different words here. They are: ethos, logos, pathos, emotion, logic, ethics. You may notice that the 1st 3 words kinda look familiar, but not quite. The reason is that those words are greek and the last 3 words evolved from them. Let's look closer. ethos looks like it's related to ethics. And that is correct. logos looks like it's related to logic and that is also correct. pathos is the root for words such as pathetic, pitiful, etc. Words that evoke an emotional response. Now with the above in mind, let's look at the options and pick the right one. a.ethos; appeals to emotion logos; appeals to logic pathos; appeals to ethics * Bad choice. Ethos applies to ethics, not emotion, and visa versa. b.ethos; appeals to logic logos; appeals to ethics pathos; appeals to emotions * Bad choice. Ethos applies to ethics, not logic. c.ethos; appeals to pathos logos; appeals to ethics pathos; appeals to emotions * Bad choice. This one is a bit of a mix and match. And having two greek words for the 1st choice? Can it be any more obviously wrong? d.ethos; appeals to ethics logos; appeals to logic pathos; appeals to emotions * Correct. All of the options match.
