i need help??? Maria is writing a persuasive essay for her English class. She asks Marshall if it is important to use rhetorical appeals in her essay. Which reasons could Marshall give in favor of using rhetorical appeals? They evoke an emotional response from readers. They dazzle readers with the writer’s depth of knowledge. They help the writer avoid seeming biased to readers. They appeal to readers’ sense of logic. They discredit a paper that presents a contrary opinion.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The rhetorical appeals are the three elements to the art of persuasion as defined by Aristotle. ethos: The rhetor is perceived by the audience as credible (or not). pathos: The rhetor attempts to persuade the audience by making them feel certain emotions.
