Question

identify the type of appeal made in each sentence from an argument in favor of letting teens play video games. according to a study published in the wall street journal, people who play video games make decisions 25% faster than those who do not, and the increased speed does not affect their accuracy. my friends and i are honor roll students who are able to balance our studies and our gaming. parents who do not allow their kids to play video games are depriving them of an important strategy for coping with stress and setting them up to become lonely.

Explanation:

First Sentence:

It uses a study (data/evidence) to support the claim, so it's a logical appeal (logos) (appeal to reason with factual evidence).

Relies on personal experience (speaker and friends’ example) to persuade, so it's an ethical appeal (ethos) (or can be seen as anecdotal, but ethos via personal credibility as honor - roll students).
