clear my selection

Explanation:

Question 9 (first multiple - choice question)

A venn - diagram is specifically designed to show the similarities (the overlapping part) and differences (the non - overlapping parts) between sets or groups. An outline is for organizing information hierarchically, a chart is a general term for visualizing data (not specifically for similarities and differences), and a list is just a sequence of items. So a venn - diagram is the correct choice.

Pathos is an appeal to emotion. The mistreatment of Nim would evoke an emotional response from the reader. The story of the researcher’s love triangle is likely a distractor and not related to pathos in the context of Harkness’ essay about Nim (assuming the essay is about the chimpanzee Nim). The use of scholarly evidence is logos (appeal to logic). So the mistreatment of Nim is the pathos - based appeal.
