Question

which statement primarily appeals to pathos to support the position that the government should provide more funding for arts education? if we want more of our young people to become creative geniuses instead of metaphorical cogs, we must invest in arts education that begins at an early age. one study found that students who participate in the arts are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement. consider the position of the president, who has said in a number of interviews that funding for the arts needs to be a priority.

Explanation:

To determine which statement appeals to pathos, we analyze each option:

• The first statement uses emotional and evocative language ("creative geniuses" vs. "metaphorical cogs") to stir feelings about the future of young people, appealing to pathos.
• The second statement relies on a study (logos - appeal to logic/evidence).
• The third statement cites the president (ethos - appeal to authority).

Answer:

The statement "If we want more of our young people to become creative geniuses instead of metaphorical cogs, we must invest in arts education that begins at an early age."
