Answer:
Ethos is a persuasion method that is used to establish a person's credibility in a topic to convince a person or many people to join their side by using their character/credibility.
Explanation:
Ethos is one of the three persuasion methods originated from Greek that means 'character'. Ethos is when a person establishes their credibility in an argument which is then used to persuade the audience through the persons 'character.' One example of this in modern day advertisement is using a celebrity to promote a product. If it's a celebrity people will find them more credible, then the audience will become more willing to buy the product.

A good example of pathos are animal rescue commercials. Logos is using facts/logic to persuade the audience. A good example of logos is a medical commercial that shows data or results of their product working.
