The fallacy of <em>logos</em> is "the last time it rained, our local sports team won. It is raining today, so they will win tonight". It's logos because in order to persuade a target audience it uses a statement empowered by logic. The logical reasoning suggests that if the last time the match was played was raining and they won, now that it's raining again, the will win again. The logical thought is that <em>when it rains, the local team wins.</em>

The fallacy of <em>pathos</em> is "If we don't pass this environmental protection bill now, the world will probably end soon". It's pathos because this fallacy tries to persuade by provoking certain emotions or feelings to readers. In this way, the statement is more appalling to the reader and it feels more emotionally attached to it. By talking about the end of the world, the writer is<em> </em><em>trying to evoke feelings of awareness, sorrow and frightening.</em> So by provoking these feelings, <em>readers may become more aware and concerned</em> about the environmental changes that the human kind needs to make now in order to prevent the complete destruction of our world.

The fallacy of <em>ethos</em> is "My favorite teacher said that we should vote for Mr.Martinez, so I believe he is the best". It's ethos because the writer is convincing people by the credibility or authority of the speaker. In this case, the teacher represents a credible and respectful figure. So the reader <em>decides to vote for whom the teacher said just because THE teacher said that.</em>

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Despite his passionate argument that rock lyrics are poetry, Dan DeLuca fails to convince.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

  • When Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize for Literature, it sparked a major controversy.
  • Dan DeLuca has written an editorial stating his opinion that rock lyrics are poetry.
  • I really enjoyed reading Dan DeLuca's article about Bob Dylan winning the Nobel Prize.
  • Despite his passionate argument that rock lyrics are poetry, Dan DeLuca fails to convince.

A thesis statement is the main claim that an author makes in a text. This claim expresses the ideas that the author wants to defend, and which he expands on in the rest of the text. Therefore, a thesis statement needs to express a clear opinion, or take a particular position on a subject. In this case, the option that does this is option D.

WHO CAN HELP WITH THIS FREAKING 2 QUESTIONS PLEASE!!!!!! will give BRAINLIEST answer only if you know!!!
REY [17]

Marley was thrilled.

The description of Marley before this shows him leaping, spinning, running and pouncing. All of these are very energetic actions that show he is not just slightly happy. The speaker is using an understatement "Marley was a little excited" to emphasis how actually thrilled Marley was to play ball.

They imply that Myra is uncomfortably hot.

In the passage, the setting is described as noon on a sunny day in August. From this description we can infer that it is hot out. When Myra says, "This sun is cooking me," we can infer that she is in the hot sun and can feel the heat as though she is being cooked. She does not indicate that she is in pain or that she is unhappy.  It simply means that she is hot.
