Question

which statement primarily appeals to pathos, or emotion, to support the position that people are more impatient today than they were in the past?
regrettably, it is not unusual these days to see impatient drivers aggressively weaving through traffic, honking as soon as the light turns green, and generally ignoring the rules of what was once customary politeness on the road.
people today are far more impatient today than they were two decades ago, when i began my career in customer service.

Explanation:

To determine which statement appeals to pathos, we analyze each: The second statement (about impatient drivers) describes a scene with aggressive driving, evoking emotions like frustration or concern. The first is a personal anecdote but less vivid in emotional appeal. The second uses descriptive details (aggressively weaving, honking) to stir emotions, fitting pathos (emotional appeal).

Answer:

Regrettably, it is not unusual these days to see impatient drivers aggressively weaving through traffic, honking as soon as the light turns green, and generally ignoring the rules of what was once customary politeness on the road.
