Question

Read the two passages about school uniforms.

Answer 1

Answer: A) Passage 1 uses a logical approach, while passage 2 contains appeals to emotion.

Explanation: when writing an argument with the goal of trying to convince an audience of an opinion (usually about a controversial topic), there are many different rhetorical devices that we can use, but two of the most common are appealing to logic and appealing to the audience's emotions. The first passage uses a more logical approach, explaining the benefits the use of school uniforms could have in the students' education. On the other hand, the second passage uses an appeal to emotion, by expressing the negative impact on the students' individuality that uniforms would cause.

Answer 2

Even though the first passage isn't completely logical, since its arguments are basically hypotheses, the second passage appeals mostly to the emotion of the reader, therefore, the right answer is the first option:

Passage 1 uses a logical approach, while passage 2 contains appeals to emotion.
