Question

which statement primarily appeals to logos to support the position that celebrities should be more involved in politics? although it is true that most celebrities lack political experience, this drawback is less important than the advantage gained from their name recognition, which could be used to do good in society. celebrities should follow the example of actress and filmmaker angelina jolie, who has served as a u.n. goodwill ambassador, among other things. celebrity activists can make a world of difference in raising awareness of and support for the world’s most exploited, abused, and needy.

Explanation:

To determine which statement appeals to logos (appeal to logic), we analyze each option:

• The first statement weighs the drawback (lack of political experience) against the advantage (name recognition for good) in a logical comparison, using reasoning to support the position.
• The second statement uses an example (Angelina Jolie), which is an appeal to ethos (credibility via example) or pathos (emotional appeal through a known figure), not logos.
• The third statement makes a claim about the impact of celebrity activists but lacks a logical comparison or reasoning structure; it's more of a persuasive claim without logical analysis.

So the first statement is the one that primarily uses logos.

Answer:

Although it is true that most celebrities lack political experience, this drawback is less important than the advantage gained from their name recognition, which could be used to do good in society.
