Question

which statement primarily appeals to ethos to support the position that wearable fitness trackers can improve peoples health? as so much about our bodies is unknown to us throughout the day—such as heart rate and blood sugar levels—it follows that increasing awareness of these factors will give us helpful insights into how to improve our health. imagine seeing your step count at the end of each day, feeling triumphant when you hit a lofty goal and determined to work harder when you fall short. i have been wearing a pedometer for several months, and knowing how far i am walking each day has brought about an increase in my cardiovascular fitness.

Explanation:

Ethos appeals to credibility or personal experience to persuade. The first statement uses logical reasoning (logos), the second uses emotional imagery (pathos), while the third relies on the speaker's personal, firsthand experience with a pedometer to support the claim about fitness trackers, which is an appeal to ethos.

Answer:

I have been wearing a pedometer for several months, and knowing how far I am walking each day has brought about an increase in my cardiovascular fitness.
