Answer 1

The two types of rhetoric used in the sentence are:

1. Logos - The use of a study provides logical evidence to support the claim about the biased language used in performance reviews for female leaders.
2. Ethos - The reference to a reputable source (Fortune study) lends credibility to the argument being made, as it highlights an authoritative perspective on the issue.

Therefore, the correct answers are logos and ethos.
