clear my selection

Explanation:

Question 1

• A memorandum is a business communication, not for supporting claims.
• I.C.E structure is a paragraph structure (Introduce, Cite, Explain), not the overall attempt to support a claim.
• An argument is defined as a systematic attempt to support a debatable claim with logic and evidence.
• A body paragraph is part of an essay, not the whole claim - supporting attempt.

• Logos is an appeal to logic, often through structure, repetition, or clear reasoning. Repetition and paragraph division help organize ideas logically, which is an appeal to logos.
• Ethos is about credibility/ethics.
• Telos is about purpose (not a standard rhetorical appeal in the triad of ethos, pathos, logos).
• Pathos is appeal to emotion.

Answer:

C. argument
