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>

Murrr4er [49]

Because of the policy of Vienna [the Congress of Vienna, 1815], Germany is clearly too small for us both [Prussia and Austria]; as long as an honorable arrangement concerning the influence of each in Germany cannot be concluded and carried out, we will both plough the same disputed acre, and Austria will remain the only state to whom we can permanently lose or from whom we can permanently gain. . . . I wish only to express my conviction that, in the not too distant future, we shall have to fight for our existence against Austria and that it is not within our power to avoid that, since the course of events in Germany has no other solution.  Based on the information in the letter, what can you infer Bismarck’s primary motivation for unification is?   a higher standard of living for its people   more land for growing food  unification of Prussia and Austria   safety and security   answer is d safty and security

olga55 [171]

Answer:

b. She missed her plane.

Explanation:

At the start of the passage, we read that Karen was in a hurry. She drove really fast <em>"zoomed ahead and [.....] zagged past a motorbike"</em>. This is also supported by the use of the words "<em>darted</em>", "<em>whipping</em>", "<em>ran through the lot, up the escalator and into the terminal</em>". These words all show that she was in a hurry to be on time for her flight.

When she heard the final call for <em>"flight 205 to JFK"</em> and looked at the line for the security checkpoint, she knew she had no more time to get into the plane. So, she walked slowly to the customer service desk.

Thus, the correct answer is option b.
