Question

which type of rhetoric is used in this sentence? to make sure my numbers were correct, i consulted three peer - reviewed journals and a professor at harvard who has a phd. a. logos b. pathos c. bias d. ethos

Explanation:

Logos is an appeal to logic and reason. Consulting peer - reviewed journals and an expert professor to verify numbers is an appeal to logical and reliable sources, which is characteristic of logos. Pathos appeals to emotions, ethos to ethics and credibility (but more in terms of the speaker's character rather than just using reliable sources for facts), and bias is not a type of rhetoric.

Answer:

A. Logos
