Question

select the detail from passage 1 that gives an example of an appeal to emotions.
1 on monday, our nation will observe labor day for the 70th year.
2 in 1894, when congress first designated this day, our labor force consisted of approximately 25 million persons—including children as young as 10 years of age—working, when work was to be found, 60 hours each week at wages averaging only 20¢ an hour.
3 in this year of 1964, we have reached a new record of 72.4 million americans at work, laboring one - third fewer hours each week at wages tenfold greater than on the first labor day.

Explanation:

An appeal to emotions uses language that evokes empathy or sympathy. The detail about child labor (children as young as 10 working long hours for low wages) in Passage 1 is designed to elicit an emotional response from the reader by highlighting harsh, unfair working conditions of the past.
