Question

which statement primarily appeals to pathos, or emotion, to support the position that all high school students should have summer jobs? even some of the most successful entrepreneurs once held humble, low - paying summer jobs, using these entry - level opportunities to gain the skills that eventually propelled them to the top of their fields. as a busy high school student, i know that the time management skills i developed at my summer job help me on a daily basis. although some high school students surely enjoy having their free time, holding a summer job helps build character and encourages a good work ethic.

Explanation:

Pathos appeals to emotion. The second statement, from a high - school student's personal experience, creates an emotional connection. It makes readers feel empathy for the student's situation and the value they gain from the summer job. The first statement is more of an appeal to logos (logic) as it uses the example of entrepreneurs to make a rational argument. The third statement is also more of a logical or ethical (ethos) appeal about building character and work ethic rather than an emotional one.

Answer:

As a busy high school student, I know that the time management skills I developed at my summer job help me on a daily basis.
