Question

Much of the shoreline of the reservoir consists of near-perpendicular sandstone bluffs, where very little flora ever did or ever could subsist, but the remainder includes bays, coves, sloping hills and the many side canyons, where the original plant life has been drowned and new plant life cannot get a foothold.
What rhetorical technique does the author use?

A. Pathos

B. Logos

C. Ethos

D. Credibility

Answer 1

I would say logos because the answer uses logic to show why vegetation could not grow or flourish on these topographic features either on the sheer cliffs, and the bays, coves, sloping hills and side canyons had their native vegetation drowned by the reservoir and the water prevented new vegetation from growing.
