B. the evidence does not support the claim.
Answer:
B. Emotional appeals
Explanation:
Rhetorical appeals are different ways speakers affect their audience. There are three main types:
- Logos (appeal to logic) - the speaker uses logic, careful structure, and objective evidence to appeal to the audience.
- Pathos (appeal to emotion) - the speaker appeals to the audience's feelings.
- Ethos (appeal to values/trust) - the speaker appeals to the audience's values.
The appeal to the audience's needs, desires, and wants is a part of pathos, i.e. emotional appeal. This is why option B is the correct one.
