Answer 3

Appeals to reason mean they are statements normally given in speeches that give the audience a reason to believe them. Appeals to emotion are statements that would affect a persons judgement based on emotion. Finally, appeals to ethics would be a statement that would change someones mind based on what is right and what is wrong.

Examples-

Reason-"Caesar's turned down my crown numerous times, does that sound ambitious?"
Ethics-"Caesar always wanted right, you guys should too."
Emotion-"He never did anything wrong, Brutus simply killed an innocent soul."
