Explanation:

Para determinar cuál enunciado apela a ethos, debemos identificar aquel que usa la credibilidad o experiencia del emisor. El primer enunciado menciona la experiencia del hablante como periodista en un periódico en línea, compartiendo su frustración con comentarios anónimos negativos. Esto usa su experiencia profesional para apoyar la posición, lo que es un llamado a ethos. El segundo enunciado explica la lógica (logos) sobre las repercusiones, no la credibilidad del emisor.
