Answer 1

Hi. You have not submitted any of the texts you have seen on the unit, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

To find paragraphs that present ethos, pathos and logos, you should look for persuasive paragraphs, that is, paragraphs where authors try to convince readers about something. The paragraph that will present the ethos will be the one where the author will try to convince the reader through ethical arguments. The paragraph that presents the pathos will be the one that the author tries to convince the reader with emotional arguments. The paragraph that presents the logos will be the one in which the author tries to convince the reader through logical arguments.
