Question

@BTaylor

Read the following argument:

Our teachers should be paid more because statistics show that higher salaries lead to better student performance.

Which term best describes the argument in this sentence?

A. Pathos
B. Logos
C. Ethos
D. Ad hoc

Answer 1

Pathos is emotionally appealing. I'm not compelled emotionally to raise salaries.
Ethos is ethically appealing. It doesn't say it would be morally right to do this.
Logos is logically appealing, so it gives reasons why. Definitely B.
