Answer 1

I can’t tell without seeing the paragraph. Please paste it.

If you want to decide yourself, use this quick guide:
- Pathos: appeals to emotions (vivid language, anecdotes, sympathy, fear, joy).
- Logos: appeals to logic and reason (facts, statistics, examples, clear argument).
- Ethos: appeals to credibility/authority or the writer’s character (expertise, trustworthiness).
- “Persuasion” is the overall goal of rhetoric, not a specific appeal like ethos/pathos/logos.

Paste the paragraph and I’ll identify which one it uses and explain why.
