Question

which statement primarily appeals to logos to support the position that more money does not always lead to increased happiness?
like most people, i enjoy the feeling of buying a new gadget, but it turns out that the happiness that we get from a new purchase doesnt last long.
howard hughes was one of the wealthiest men in the world, but he suffered greatly from mental and physical health problems that his money couldnt fix.
while its true that a lack of money can cause stress and unhappiness, it does not necessarily follow that money will lead to more happiness after basic needs are met.

Explanation:

Para determinar cuál declaración apela a logos (razonamiento lógico), analizamos cada una:

• La primera usa experiencia personal (pathos, emoción).
• La segunda usa un ejemplo anecdótico (ejemplo de Howard Hughes, pero es más ilustrativo que lógico formal).
• La tercera presenta un razonamiento lógico: reconoce que la falta de dinero causa infelicidad, pero deduce que el dinero no garantiza felicidad tras cubrir necesidades básicas (usa una estructura de argumentación lógica: “A causa B, pero no significa que A→C”).

Answer:

The third statement: "While it's true that a lack of money can cause stress and unhappiness, it does not necessarily follow that money will lead to more happiness after basic needs are met."
