Question

which statement primarily appeals to pathos, or emotion, to support the position that todays students are asked to do too much homework?
some research has shown that excessive homework can cause headaches and stomach ulcers in overworked students.
some students eventually become so overburdened by their homework that they suffer devastating nervous breakdowns from which they may never fully recover.
as a parent, i have seen my child suffer both emotional and physical consequences of having too much homework.

Explanation:

Pathos appeals to emotions. The second statement about students suffering devastating nervous breakdowns from which they may never fully recover evokes a strong emotional response compared to the other statements. The first statement is more clinical about health - related issues, and the third is a general parental observation.

Answer:

Some students eventually become so overburdened by their homework that they suffer devastating nervous breakdowns from which they may never fully recover.
