Sometimes ethos, pathos and logos can be used to make people believe things that are not entirely true. Can you think of an exam

ple? How can people avoid being tricked by faulty persuasion tactics?

Yes, all three make up the triangle of persuasion. 
Examples can be:

Ethos~ An advertisement on an alternative medicine persuaded to be efficient by the credibility of scientists in lab coats.
Pathos~ A commercial asking for donations to help abused animals to appeal to the emotional view.
Logos~ A statistic in a magazine about rates of how people with more shoes are more happy, suggesting you should buy shows for this reason.

Although all examples have bad motives for persuading, ways to avoid being tricked in these examples are:
-In ethos ex., people with lab coats aren't necessarily credible, look them up and see if they are legitimate, and if they are, look at what they are saying and if it is even relatable to the subject.
-In pathos ex., how did this commercial even get the money to be advertised? If they have money, they should use it to support the animals. Think before donating money to a program like this, because most of time, more than half the money you donate goes to them then the ones in need.
-In logos, the statistics are correct, but if you are depressed, it doesn't mean you should buy more shoes. There is a hidden variable in their data

I hope this helps?

Revise and edit the paragraph. Ensure that it uses a consistent verb tense throughout.
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Elisa's character is established in the place where she was safest and most comfortable - the chrysanthemum garden, but it changes when we see her on the road with Henry. Her actions while tending the garden reveal that she felt confident, powerful, and in charge in that setting. This confidence was evident when she skillfully destroys the insects before they can harm the plants. Her pride in her flowers in this setting is also what makes her open up to the stranger, after being wary of him at first. The garden setting provided the opportunity for the man and Elisa to interact in a more intimate way than another setting would, revealing a new side of Elisa.

The American realist movement began in 1865, at the end of the Civil War. How might the war have affected the literature of that
nevsk [136]

The romantic period, which preceded the realist period, glorified war. The Civil War, however, resulted in the loss of many lives on both sides of the war. The horrific reality of the Civil War left no room for such an association in realist works. Realist writers such as Bierce, writing after the war, dwelled on the painful and gory aspects of war. The Civil War also led to a cynical and sometimes bleak outlook on life, which realist writing often reveals.
