Question

which statement primarily appeals to pathos 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:

Pathos appeals to emotions. The third statement ("The greatest genius may be of little worth, even unemployable, if his collaborative skills are lacking") evokes a sense of concern or fear about being unemployable if one lacks teamwork skills, appealing to emotions. The first uses logical reasoning (most jobs require teamwork), and the second uses personal experience (ethos - credibility from experience), not pathos.

Answer:

The statement "The greatest genius may be of little worth, even unemployable, if his collaborative skills are lacking."
