The two types of rhetoric used in the sentence are:

1. ethos - The mention of a study gives credibility to the argument, indicating that it is based on researched findings.
2. logos - The use of specific examples (words like 'bossy, abrasive, strident, and aggressive') provides logical evidence to support the claim about the gender problem in journalism.

So the correct answers are ethos and logos.
