Explanation:

• Question 2: The statement “Studies show kids learn better with a snack break” uses facts (from studies) to make a point. Logos is about using logic, facts, numbers, or reasons.
• Question 3: The statement “I’m a good student who always follows rules, so you can trust me” is about establishing trust. Ethos is about showing one is honest or worth - believing.
• Question 4: The statement “Please let us have a snack—I’m so hungry I can’t focus” is about appealing to emotions (hunger and inability to focus as an emotional state related to learning). Pathos is about making people care with emotions.

• Question 3: Ethos. Because it is about establishing trust by presenting oneself as a rule - following student.
• Question 4: Pathos. Because it appeals to the emotion of hunger and the resulting inability to focus.
