Question

which statement primarily appeals to ethos to support the position that the most important skill that employees must learn is the ability to work in a team? granted, individual talent plays a role in a persons professional success, but i would argue that cooperation and teamwork are even more important since most jobs require us to work effectively with others. my recent experience working for a large international company has shown me the integral role teamwork plays in achieving successful outcomes. the greatest genius may be of little worth, even unemployable, if his collaborative skills are lacking.

Explanation:

Ethos relies on establishing credibility or using personal experience to persuade. The second statement draws on the speaker's direct, professional experience at a large international company to support the value of teamwork, which appeals to ethos by leveraging the speaker's real-world, authoritative context. The other statements use logical argument or general claims rather than personal credibility.

Answer:

My recent experience working for a large international company has shown me the integral role teamwork plays in achieving successful outcomes.
