question 10 of 10
which of these uses ethos?

a. yum organics has been providing well - rounded organic lunches to schools on the west coast for more than 15 years.

b. all of the other schools in our district offer organic foods in the lunchroom; therefore, our school should offer organic foods as well.

c. the food at our school is o.k.; however, i wish we had more organic choices.

d. we are starving because the food, if you can call this slop \food,\ at our school is not fit for the lowest grub on this fine earth!

Explanation:

Ethos is an appeal to credibility or character. Option A highlights Yum Organics' 15 - year history of providing organic lunches, establishing its credibility. Option B is a logical appeal (logos) about following others. Option C is a personal opinion. Option D uses emotional language (pathos). So A uses ethos.

Answer:

A. Yum Organics has been providing well - rounded organic lunches to schools on the West Coast for more than 15 years.
