MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
20 sec • 1 pt
Which of the following is considered the MOST effective way to persuade an audience in academic or formal writing?
Pathos: Emotional appeals (making the audience feel strong emotions)
Logos: Logical appeals (using facts, statistics, and reasoning)
Ethos: Using credible sources (professionals, scholarly)
Repeating the same point over and over
Answer explanation
Logical appeals, using facts, statistics, and reasoning, are generally considered the most effective way to persuade an audience in formal writing because they build a foundation of credibility and trustworthiness.
Unlike emotional appeals, which can be powerful but subjective and fleeting, logic provides a solid, objective basis for an argument. When a writer supports their claims with evidence, they demonstrate that their position is well-researched and thoughtfully considered. This approach appeals to the audience's intellect and sense of reason.
