The author uses the following types of rhetoric in the sentence:

1. **Pathos**: The sentence appeals to emotions by highlighting the unfair treatment of female leaders in performance reviews, which can evoke feelings of sympathy and injustice.

2. **Logos**: The mention of a study provides a logical basis for the argument, using evidence (the findings from the Fortune study) to support the claim that there is a gender problem in journalism.

Therefore, the correct responses are **pathos** and **logos**.
