Answer 1

Passage 1 uses a logical approach, while passage 2 contains appeals to emotion.

Reason: Passage 1 builds its case with orderly reasoning and objective support (facts, cause–effect structure, and clear logical progression). Passage 2 depends on vivid language, anecdotes, and emotional triggers to persuade readers rather than formal proof or strict logic.
