Question

consider how few of those that work are employed in labours that are of real service, for we, who measure all things by money, give rise to many trades that are both vain and superfluous, and serve only to support riot and luxury: for... if all those who labour about useless things were set to more profitable employments, and if all they that languish out their lives in sloth and idleness... were forced to labour, you may easily imagine that a small proportion of time would serve for doing all that is either necessary, profitable, or pleasant to mankind, especially while pleasure is kept within its due bounds; this appears very plainly in utopia: for there, in a great city, and in all the territory that lies round it, you can scarce find five hundred, either men or women, by their age and strength capable of labour, that are not engaged in it. -utopia, sir thomas more. in this excerpt, which type of appeal best supports the claim that the best society is one in which satisfied people are doing work that matters? ethos, because mores justification of his qualifications causes the audience to trust him pathos, because the description of labor makes the audience upset logos, because the facts presented help the audience trust the speaker pathos, because the description of rewarding labor makes the audience hopeful

There is no appeal to the speaker's qualifications (ethos) or strong - emotional manipulation (pathos).

Answer:

logos, because the facts presented help the audience trust the speaker
