The two types of rhetoric used in the sentence are:
Logos - The author presents a study that provides logical evidence about the biased language used in performance reviews of female leaders, which appeals to reason.
Pathos - The choice of words like ‘bossy, abrasive, strident, and aggressive’ evokes an emotional response regarding gender bias in the workplace, appealing to the reader's feelings and sense of injustice.
So the correct answers are logos and pathos.
