Question

Which statements are examples of logos? Select two options.

Answer 1

Answer:

D). As a neurologist, I advise people to consider taking 30-minute breaks every hour to help with work fatigue.

E). In a new poll, it was determined that 34 percent of people on the West Coast do not watch any type of sport.

Explanation:

Logos is characterized as the 'appeal based on logic or reason.' The arguments employing logos attempt to persuade audience logically by offering statistical, factual, or reasonable(out of common sense) claims.

As per the question, the above two claims exemplify 'logos' as they offer factual and statistical claim. A neurologist is trained in his profession and thus, his recommendation can be considered reliable by the audience while the latter claim offers a statistical data('34 percent..sport') revealed in the latest poll which the readers can believe as it is based on authentic survey. This allows the readers to associate the claim to their sense of logic or reason and believe in it.Thus, options D and E are the correct answers.
