Explanation:

Question 1

Ethos is a persuasive appeal based on credibility/authority. Dentists are experts, so their recommendation uses ethos. Logos is logic/reason, pathos is emotion.

A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. Verbs are actions, pronouns replace nouns, adjectives describe.

The example uses "Tiger Woods of miniature golf" to compare a person to Tiger Woods (a famous golfer), which is an allusion (or more specifically, a nickname/epithet - but the literary term for this comparison - like a sobriquet or an allusion to Tiger Woods' fame, or a metaphor? Wait, actually, it's a simile? No, it's a metaphor? Wait, no - it's a type of allusion or a nickname. Wait, the term is "epithet" or "comparative allusion" but more likely, it's a metaphor? No, wait, "the Tiger Woods of miniature golf" is a simile? No, it's a metaphor (implied comparison). Wait, actually, it's an allusion to Tiger Woods, using his name to describe someone's golfing skills. But more precisely, it's a nickname or a comparative epithet. Wait, the literary term here is metaphor (implied comparison) or allusion (referencing a famous person). But the most accurate term is allusion (referring to Tiger Woods to suggest similar golfing prowess) or metaphor (comparing the person to Tiger Woods). Alternatively, it's a simile? No, because it's not using "like" or "as". Wait, "the Tiger Woods of miniature golf" is a metaphor (the person is being equated to Tiger Woods in terms of golfing). So the literary term is metaphor (or allusion, but metaphor is more about the comparison). Wait, actually, it's a nickname or a sobriquet, but in literary terms, it's a metaphor (direct comparison) or allusion (reference to a cultural figure). Given the context, the term is likely metaphor (comparing the person to Tiger Woods) or allusion (referencing Tiger Woods). But the standard term for this is a metaphor (since it's a direct comparison: "X is the Y of Z"). So the answer is "metaphor" (or "allusion", but metaphor is more precise here).

Answer:

A. ethos
