To determine the type of argument used in the author's speech, we would need to analyze the content of the passage. Based on the options provided, here are brief definitions for each type of argument:
- Logos: An argument that appeals to logic and reason, using facts, statistics, and logical reasoning.
- Pathos: An argument that appeals to emotions, trying to elicit feelings such as sympathy, anger, or excitement from the audience.
- Syntax: This refers to the arrangement of words in a sentence and does not pertain to the type of argument.
- Ad Hominem: An argument that attacks a person's character or motives instead of addressing the issue at hand.
If you can provide the passage or more specific details about the speech, I can assist you better in identifying whether the argument used is logos, pathos, or another type.
