Question

Which excerpt from Fast Food Nation best illustrates the author’s use of the rhetorical appeal logos?
Her family’s modest townhouse sits beside a busy highway on the south side of Colorado Springs, in a largely poor and working-class neighborhood.
A job at a fast food restaurant became an American rite of passage, a first job soon left behind for better things.
English is now the second language of at least one-sixth of the nation’s restaurant workers, and about one-third of that group speaks no English at all.
When she finally walks home, after seven hours of standing at a cash register, her feet hurt. She’s wiped out.

Answer 1

"English is now the second language of at least one-sixth of the nation’s restaurant workers, and about one-third of that group speaks no English at all."

This choice uses numerical data/statistics, which is the hallmark of logos (logical appeal). The other lines rely on description and emotion (pathos) or generalization.
