Question

ng the use of rhetoric, part 2

which rhetorical appeal does the speaker use in this excerpt?
pathos, because he caters to readers’ emotions
kairos, because he highlights how pressing this issue is
logos, because he presents a logical argument
ethos, because he relies on a respected figure

Explanation:

The speaker presents a logical argument about why a judge should not be contaminated by evil - comparing it to how one wouldn't want to catch bodily diseases. It's a rational line - of - thinking rather than appealing to emotions (pathos), time - sensitivity (kairos), or credibility through a respected figure (ethos).

Answer:

C. logos, because he presents a logical argument
