Question

which statement primarily appeals to logos to support the position that todays students are asked to do too much homework? some students eventually become so overburdened by their homework that they suffer devastating nervous breakdowns from which they may never fully recover. some research has shown that excessive homework can cause headaches and stomach ulcers in overworked students. as a parent, i have seen my child suffer both emotional and physical consequences of having too much homework.

Explanation:

Logos relies on evidence, data, or research to support a claim. The first statement uses extreme anecdotal emotional impact (pathos), the third uses personal parental experience (ethos/anecdote), while the second cites research, which is a logical, evidence-based appeal to logos.

Answer:

Some research has shown that excessive homework can cause headaches and stomach ulcers in overworked students.
