Question

Which statement uses pathos as a rhetorical appeal?

Sixty percent of the community center staff are unpaid volunteers.
The center is subsidized, and over half of the children attend for free.
The children’s innocence touches the volunteers’ hearts.
Many staffers are retired teachers with impressive resumes.

Answer 1

"The children’s innocence touches the volunteers’ hearts."

This appeals to pathos because it evokes emotion. The others use facts/statistics (logos) or appeal to credibility (ethos).
