Question

Our economy is breaking records with more than 22 million new jobs, the lowest unemployment in 30 years, the highest homeownership ever, the longest expansion in history. Which rhetorical appeal does Clinton primarily use in this excerpt? an appeal based on emotion an appeal based on credibility an appeal based on character an appeal based on logic

Answer 1

I would say appeal based on logic. I'm not entirely sure, but that's what makes the most sense to me :)

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) an appeal based on logic.

The rhetorical appeal that Clinton uses in the excerpt is an appeal based on logic.

President Bill Clinton is sharing numbers that support the accomplishments during his tenure as President of the United States. That is why he is using logos or logic. He is not trying to appeal to the emotions of the audience, that is why he is not using Phatos. Neither Ethos, the appeal for the credibility of who is giving the speech.

The excerpt refers to the farewell address of President Bill Clinton in 2001.
