Question

how does the author use logos to support the argument made in \save the coral reefs\?
by evoking in readers a sense of sympathy for the reefs being destroyed
by helping readers relate to the species that depend on the reefs to survive
by reporting observations of the reefs from personal scientific research
by providing scientific evidence that humans are destroying coral reefs

Explanation:

Logos relies on logical, factual evidence to persuade. The first two options use pathos (emotional appeal: sympathy, relatability). The third option focuses on personal research observations, while the correct option uses verifiable scientific evidence about human impact, which aligns with logos.

Answer:

D. by providing scientific evidence that humans are destroying coral reefs
