Question

which statement primarily appeals to logos to support the position that high schools should start later in the morning? an early start time can have a significant negative effect on teens health, studies have shown, making students more likely to perform poorly academically. some of my first - period students appear to be exhausted in the mornings, which i know, in my experience as a high school teacher, impairs their ability to learn. it is to be expected that high school students should be tired at eight in the morning: they have exhausting extracurricular activities lasting late into the evening and hours upon hours of homework to complete each night.

Explanation:

Logos relies on factual evidence, data, or cited research to persuade. The first statement references "studies have shown," which is empirical, evidence-based support for later start times. The second uses personal teacher experience (pathos/ethos), and the third uses general observation without cited evidence.

Answer:

An early start time can have a significant negative effect on teens' health, studies have shown, making students more likely to perform poorly academically.
