question #3
what are the three rhetorical appeals, or methods of persuasion?
○ ethos, pathos, purpose
○ persuade, inform, entertain
○ audience, purpose, and context
○ ethos, pathos, logos

Explanation:

Question #1

• Logos: Appeals to logic and reason. This statement is not presenting logical arguments but rather credentials.
• Pathos: Appeals to emotions. There is no emotional language in the statement.
• Ethos: Appeals to credibility or character. The mention of "advanced degree and ten years of fieldwork" is an attempt to establish the speaker's credibility.

Syntax refers to the rules for constructing sentences, not going beyond the literal meaning of words to create images or associations. That is the role of literary devices like imagery, metaphor, etc.

• Ethos, pathos, purpose: Purpose is not one of the traditional rhetorical appeals.
• Persuade, inform, entertain: These are types of writing purposes, not rhetorical appeals.
• Audience, purpose, and context: These are elements of communication, not rhetorical appeals.
• Ethos, pathos, logos: These are the three classic rhetorical appeals as defined by Aristotle. Ethos for credibility, pathos for emotion, and logos for logic.

Answer:

Ethos appeal
