Question

which statement primarily appeals to logos to support the position that high schools should teach basic financial literacy?
most americans have trouble with their finances, evidenced by the fact that only forty percent of adults even keep a budget to track their spending.
the level of financial illiteracy in the united states is frighteningly high: many americans have little to no savings, are knee - deep in debt, and live paycheck to paycheck.
certified public accountant rick cohen notes that students who are not taught how to manage credit cards often end up overspending.

Explanation:

Logos se refiere a la persuasión a través de razones, datos o evidencia lógica. La primera afirmación proporciona un dato específico ("solo el cuarenta por ciento de los adultos mantienen un presupuesto") para respaldar que la mayoría de los estadounidenses tienen problemas financieros, lo que es una evidencia empírica que apela a la lógica. La segunda usa descripciones generales sin datos concretos, y la tercera apela a la autoridad (un contador certificado), lo que es ethos.

Answer:

Most Americans have trouble with their finances, evidenced by the fact that only forty percent of adults even keep a budget to track their spending.
