Explanation:
There are several types of evidence that can be used in writing or speaking. Different types of evidence have different influential powers according to the context in which they are used as well as their purpose.
Evidence number 1 is a description: it offers information as to what happened; how and when the problem being addressed started. Evidence number 2 is a fact: an occurrence verifiable through observation or research. In this case, it is the heartbeat rate that is easily verifiable. Finally, evidence number 3 is an expert's testimony: a reliable opinion given by someone who has expertise in a certain area. The doctor, who is a specialist in health, came to the conclusion that over-cycling was the cause of the issues.
Answer: The appeal made in this sentence is a logical appeal.
Explanation:
A logical appeal is a persuasive technique which is based on evidence. In this sentence, the statement made was based on a study published in the Wall Street Journal.

In my opinion, the correct answer is D: <span>Both the parallel structure in the excerpt of "An Irish Airman Foresees His Own Death" and the repetition in the excerpt from "Do not go gentle into that good night" emphasize the inevitability of death.
The main point of both poems is that death is inevitable. However, in Yates' poem, the airman willingly faces death, because of an inner impulse that he finds hard to describe. In this excerpt, he tells us that he is more or less indifferent toward those who are below, on Earth. He is interested in death itself, as a dark phenomenon that haunts him. On the other hand, in Thomas' poem, the inevitability of death is human tragic destiny. We should cling to life as best we can precisely because death is inevitable. These two poems have the same topic, but opposite directions of thought: Yates' speaker goes to meet death, embracing it, whereas Thomas' speaker encourages his dying father to try and postpone death, if possible.</span>
