Question 31

Ethos is an appeal to credibility or authority. The mechanic uses their role (who fixed the brakes) to establish credibility when stating the tires are unsafe in the rain. Pathos is emotional appeal, Logos is logical appeal; neither fit here as well as Ethos.

Pathos is an appeal to emotion. The statement asks the listener to imagine the emotional impact of losing everything in a house fire (photos, memories, irreplaceable stuff) to persuade about fire safety, which is an emotional appeal. Ethos is about credibility, Logos about logic; Pathos fits here.
