Question

which statement primarily appeals to pathos, or emotion, to support the position that organic farming should be more widely adopted?
many commercially grown foods are treated with harmful synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, which can poison our soil, our groundwater, and even our food.
i grew up in a farming family, and i learned that the best way to preserve your lands soil and water is to farm organically.

Explanation:

Pathos appeals to emotions. The second statement uses a personal story ("I grew up in a farming family") which can evoke feelings and connect on an emotional level. The first statement is more factual about the harm of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides (more of a logos - logical appeal).

Answer:

"I grew up in a farming family, and I learned that the best way to preserve your land's soil and water is to farm organically."
