Question

which sentence most clearly contains logos A. As a dentist, I can say that Shine Ultra is the most effective toothpaste B. Inventors made 5 percent more with our app than with the leading app. C. There are arguments for and against using test to measure achievment D. Saving a child from a life of suffering is just one easy phone call away

Answer 1

Thoughts? Logos refers to the use of *logic* and reasoning to argue for a point. Which of the four do you think makes an argument based on logic?

Answer 2

C?

Answer 3

That’s a good guess but C really isn’t making an argument one way or the other.

Another hint - using hard facts/statistics would fall under logos

Answer 4

would it be A

Answer 5

A would be an argument using ethos (the dentists credibility)

Notice how B provides a factual statement about the app being better at making investors money. This is the argument that is most grounded in logic.

Answer 6

so B

Answer 7

Yes
