Question

which is an example of logos in \top of the food chain\?

a. the people are all huddled there in their running shorts, looking pretty miserable, and one after another the roofs keep falling in...

b.... the villagers in a panic over the threat of the plague and the stream of nonstop hysterical reports from the interior - people were turning black, swelling up and bursting...

c. the chemical, which, by the way, cut down the number of mosquitoes exponentially, had the unfortunate side effect of killing off this little wasp... that preyed on a type of caterpillar that in turn ate palm leaves.

d. picture if you can, gentlemen, a naked little two - year - old boy so black with flies and mosquitoes it looks like hes wearing long johns...

Explanation:

Logos is an appeal to logic, using facts and cause - and - effect relationships. Option C presents a cause - and - effect situation with the chemical reducing mosquito numbers but also having a side - effect on wasps and caterpillars. This is a logical explanation of the consequences of using the chemical.

Answer:

C. The chemical, which, by the way, cut down the number of mosquitoes exponentially, had the unfortunate side effect of killing off this little wasp... that preyed on a type of caterpillar that in turn ate palm leaves.
