Question

1. which of the following does not belong to the three primary rhetorical appe

• a. rhetoric
• b. ethos
• c. syntax

Explanation:

The three primary rhetorical appeals are Ethos (credibility), Pathos (emotion), and Logos (logic). Rhetoric is the art of persuasive speaking/writing, and Syntax refers to sentence structure. So both A (Rhetoric) and C (Syntax) do not belong, but likely the intended answer is C or A. Wait, correction: The three rhetorical appeals are Ethos, Pathos, Logos. So Rhetoric is the broader field, Syntax is about grammar/sentence structure. So among the options, Syntax (C) and Rhetoric (A) are not appeals. But maybe the question has a typo, but based on options, Syntax (C) is not a rhetorical appeal. Alternatively, Rhetoric (A) is the study, not an appeal. So the answer would be A or C. But likely the intended is A or C. Wait, let's recheck: Rhetorical appeals are Ethos, Pathos, Logos. So Rhetoric (A) is the discipline, not an appeal. Syntax (C) is about language structure, not an appeal. So both A and C are not appeals. But the options given: A. Rhetoric, B. Ethos, C. Syntax. So the answer is A (Rhetoric) or C (Syntax). But Ethos is an appeal. So Rhetoric (A) is the art, not an appeal. Syntax (C) is sentence structure, not an appeal. So the correct answer depends on the question's intent. But likely, the answer is A or C. Wait, maybe the question meant "which is not an appeal", so Rhetoric (A) is the study, not an appeal. So the answer is A. Rhetoric.

Answer:

A. Rhetoric
