Question

which statement primarily appeals to pathos to support the position that cooking is a valuable life skill that should be taught in school?
because groceries are relatively cheap in comparison with eating out, and cooking is not a difficult skill to learn, it follows that providing cooking instruction in schools would serve students well.
we want todays young people to be independent and career-ready, and yet we place so little emphasis on life skills such as cooking that some young adults do not even know how to boil water.
when it comes to cooking, i side with the womens institute, which believes that more cooking instruction in schools can help reduce food waste at home.

Explanation:

Pathos appeals to emotions. The second statement evokes concern about young people lacking basic life skills like cooking (not knowing how to boil water) and contrasts it with the desire for them to be independent, aiming to stir emotions about the need to teach cooking in school. The first uses logic (cost, ease of learning), the third uses an appeal to authority (Women’s Institute).

Answer:

B. We want today's young people to be independent and career-ready, and yet we place so little emphasis on life skills such as cooking that some young adults do not even know how to boil water.
