The two types of rhetoric that the author uses in the sentence are:
Ethos - The mention of a reputable study (Fortune study) lends credibility to the argument being made about gender bias in performance reviews.
Logos - The reference to specific terms used in performance reviews for female leaders presents logical evidence to support the claim that there is a gender problem in journalism and leadership roles.
So the correct answers are ethos and logos.
