Question

which statement primarily appeals to logos to support the position that young people benefit from developing friendships with senior citizens?
if we dont want todays youth to become spoiled, unruly, and disrespectful, then we would do well to encourage them to look to older generations for advice and guidance.
as we age, we gain knowledge, wisdom, and insight, all of which are highly valued in our society; thus, young people would benefit from the mentorship or friendship of our older citizens.
each year, about a dozen members of the high school key club, which i manage, have fun hosting a game night at the community senior center. a number of students have even developed long - lasting friendships with some of the seniors.

Explanation:

Para determinar cuál declaración apela a logos (razón y lógica), analizamos cada una:

• La primera usa un tono persuasivo/emotivo sobre "no querer que la juventud sea grosera", más pathos que logos.
• La segunda explica que con la edad se gana conocimiento, sabiduría e intuición (razones lógicas) y deduce que la juventud se beneficiaría de la amistad con mayores. Usa razonamiento lógico (causa - efecto: experiencia de mayores → beneficio para jóvenes).
• La tercera es un ejemplo anecdótico (experiencia del Key Club), lo que es más pathos o ethos (anecdota personal) que logos.

Answer:

La segunda declaración: "As we age, we gain knowledge, wisdom, and insight, all of which are highly valued in our society; thus, young people would benefit from the mentorship or friendship of our older citizens."
