Answer 1

O sentence 4

Rhetorical appeal- Logos

Logical fallacy- Hasty Generalization

Step-by-step explanation:

Logos as a rhetorical appeal was used in this sentence when the author made a reference to statistics to prove his point. The logical fallacy of Hasty Generalization, was also committed in this sentence as the writer arrived at the conclusion that teen drivers are more likely to be distracted in all areas of their lives based on one experience.

In Hasty Generalization, a broad conclusion is reached based on a single experience or from an unrepresentative sample.
