Answer 1

Answer:

Pathos.

Explanation:

Aristotle's text Rhetoric primarily discusses the 'art of persuasive speech.' He offered three distinct modes of persuasion namely ethos, pathos, and logos that the authors can employ to convince their audience in various ways. Ethos stands for 'an ethical appeal that persuades the audience ethically' while 'logos' aim to convince them logically and 'Pathos' is demonstrated as the appeal that convinces the audience by eliciting their emotions. the author employs descriptive language to arouse the audience's emotions and elicit the desired response and acceptance from them.
