Answer

Brief Explanations:

Logos is a rhetorical appeal that uses logic, reasons, and evidence. The passage gives specific steps (like making 50 free - throws, taking a mile run, daily workouts) which are reasons and evidence for preparing to try out for the basketball team. Pathos is about emotions and ethos is about credibility. The first option (credibility) is ethos, the second option (steps) is just a description of content not the rhetorical appeal type, the third option (emotions) is pathos.

Answer:

logos, because it provides reasons and evidence for the speaker's argument
