Question

which statement primarily appeals to ethos, or character, to support the position that positive thinking contributes to overall emotional well - being?
though some may dismiss optimism as naive, studies have shown that positive thinking is an integral part of stress management.
throughout my career as a management consultant, i have always advised my clients to remain positive, especially during stressful periods.
positive thinking will bring a more radiant smile to your face and generate a welcoming energy that will draw others toward you.

Explanation:

Ethos appeals to credibility or character. The second statement uses the speaker's career as a management consultant (establishing credibility/character) to advise on positive thinking. The first statement uses logos (studies - logical evidence). The third statement uses pathos (emotional appeal of a smile and welcoming energy).

Throughout my career as a management consultant, I have always advised my clients to remain positive, especially during stressful periods.
