To determine the type of argument used in the speech, we need to analyze the content of the passage.
- Ad hominem refers to attacking the person making an argument rather than addressing the argument itself.
- Pathos appeals to emotions and feelings to persuade the audience.
- Syntax involves the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language; it is not a type of argument.
- Logos refers to logical reasoning and the use of evidence and facts to support an argument.
Based on these definitions, if the speech primarily evokes emotions and tries to connect with the audience's feelings, the argument type would be pathos. If it uses logical reasoning and evidence to support its claims, then it would be logos. Without more context from the passage, I can't definitively choose one, but you would select pathos if it appeals more to emotions, or logos if it's based on logical reasoning.
If you could provide more context from the passage, I would be able to assist you better!
