YOURS i.___SINCERELY____
Pathos. The reasoning being, what each word means.
Ethos is essentially the evidence of a “professional,” like things that say “9/10 dentist’s recommend!” By claiming that other people, famous people and/or professionals agree with your statement, it becomes more convincing as a result.
Logos is things such as evidence— the way I remember it is, logos and logic. Statistics are a great example but anything using logic is logos.
Finally, Pathos is emotional. Using someone’s emotions as a convincing factor. Using the commercial example from before, you know those sad puppy dog commercials? “One cent a day can help feed this poor animal.” The entire point is to play with your emotions in order to convince you to pay. That makes it pathos.
So I’m this example this is pathos. You’re trying to make someone feel bad for “breaking your grandma’s heart.” You’re not saying, “your grandma agrees that it would break her heart,” or “your mom and dad both say it would upset grandma,” which would be ethos. You’re also not saying anything logical or statistical. This leaves pathos as your answer.
Hope this helps!
The strategy that will help you revise your choice of words to achieve your purpose is to think of what message you want to give such as in an introduction to a topic whereby you want to cover the main points to be expounded on in the main paper or essay or chapter of a book you may be writing to set the stage for their full explanation.
I'd go for the last option or D. both are more brilliant and athletic than anyone else
True. Because those two things lead to complex concepts.
