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

The description of rewarding labor is likely to evoke positive emotions like hope in the audience, aiming to make them receptive to the idea of a society with satisfying and meaningful work. Logos relies on facts and logic, but there are no clear - cut facts presented here. Ethos is about the speaker's credibility, and there's no focus on More's qualifications.

Answer:

pathos, because the description of rewarding labor makes the audience hopeful
