Answer:

The author is persuading the public through his character.

Explanation:

Ethos refers to the characteristics of the speaker that can influence the persuasion process, such as his authority, honesty and credibility in relation to the topic under consideration. The speaker's ability to dialogue and his presentation are also included in the skills that may lead to persuasion.

The ethos is the public's perception of its authority and good morals. Translating to our world: It's not enough to be good, you need to look good.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

C). False Causation.

Explanation:

<u>'False Causation' is demonstrated as the logical fallacy(flaw in reasoning) in which a cause of a phenomenon is inappropriately identified</u>. In this fallacy, the relationship between the cause and effect is irrational which makes the argument flawed/false reasonably.

In the given argument, the cause('earbuds') is identified incorrectly for the effect('decrease in need for live music') which creates a confusion for the readers(as they are unable to relate the cause logically) and affects the credibility of the argument. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

eduard

It's hot outside today.

It's is the contrasted form of it is and its is the possessive form *as it is without an apostrophe*.

For example:

The tree has lost all its leaves.

It's my birthday today.
