question 15 (1 point)
in the persuasive essay exemplar regarding distracted driving, the argument referencing the canadian automobile association (caa) primarily uses which persuasive technique?
a. pathos (the appeal to emotion).
b. repetition.
c. ethos (references caa).
d. hyperbole.

Explanation:

Ethos is an appeal to ethics or credibility. Referencing the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA), which is a well - known and respected organization in the field of automobiles and driving safety, is an attempt to add credibility to the argument. This is a classic example of using ethos. Pathos is about appealing to emotions (no emotional language described here). Repetition is about repeating words or phrases (not indicated). Hyperbole is extreme exaggeration (not shown).

Answer:

C. Ethos (references CAA)
