The author uses the following types of rhetoric in the sentence:
Ethos - The mention of a Fortune study lends credibility to the claim being made, as it references a reputable source.
Logos - The use of specific examples (words like ‘bossy, abrasive, strident, and aggressive’) in the context of performance reviews provides logical evidence to support the argument about the gender problem in journalism.
So the correct answers are ethos and logos.
