The author uses the following types of rhetoric in the sentence:
-
Logos: The mention of a study and specific findings (the frequency of certain words in performance reviews) appeals to logical reasoning and presents factual evidence.
-
Pathos: The use of emotionally charged words like ‘bossy, abrasive, strident, and aggressive’ evokes feelings about gender bias and the unfair treatment of women in leadership roles, appealing to the audience's emotions.
So the correct answers are logos and pathos.
