Question

which statement primarily appeals to logos to support the position that hospitals should serve more nutritious food?
a patient can hardly be expected to experience better health after eating a plate of french fries so oily they leave grease spots on the bedsheets.
as a practicing primary care physician, i observe on a daily basis the health consequences of junk food consumption.
while it’s true that healthier food can be costly, a hospital that serves more nutritious meals will get a return on its investment in the form of better patient outcomes.

Explanation:

Para determinar cuál declaración apela a logos (razón, lógica), analizamos cada opción:

• La primera opción usa descripción vívida (pathos, emoción).
• La segunda apela a autoridad personal (ethos, credibilidad del médico).
• La tercera presenta un razonamiento lógico: relaciona el costo de la comida saludable con el retorno de inversión en mejores resultados para el paciente (inversión → mejores resultados), lo que es un argumento basado en lógica y beneficios.

Answer:

While it’s true that healthier food can be costly, a hospital that serves more nutritious meals will get a return on its investment in the form of better patient outcomes.
