Question

which statement primarily appeals to ethos to support the position that the most important skill that employees must learn is the ability to work in a team? granted, individual talent plays a role in a persons professional success, but i would argue that cooperation and teamwork are even more important since most jobs require us to work effectively with others. my recent experience working for a large international company has shown me the integral role teamwork plays in achieving successful outcomes. the greatest genius may be of little worth, even unemployable, if his collaborative skills are lacking.

Explanation:

Ethos appeals to the speaker's credibility or experience. The second statement uses the speaker's personal experience at a large international company to support the importance of teamwork, establishing credibility. The first focuses on logical reasoning (logos) about job requirements, and the third uses a general observation (also more logos - like). So the statement appealing to ethos is the one with personal experience.

Answer:

The statement "My recent experience working for a large international company has shown me the integral role teamwork plays in achieving successful outcomes."
