Why is an appeal to logic, emotion, and ethics more effective than an

appeal to just one of those elements?
Because logical and emotional appeals are always more persuasive than
ethical appeals, a writer needs to include all three in order to convince
readers.
* 1 point
Because certain readers will find one type of appeal more persuasive than
others, a piece with a variety of appeals will convince more readers.
Because readers will ignore an argument that doesn't include all three
elements, a writer must include all of them to persuade anybody.
Because not all arguments are well suited to a specific type of appeal, a writer
needs to include all three elements to persuade any reader.

The most accurate statement regarding why an appeal to logic, emotion, and ethics is more effective than an appeal to just one of those elements is:

"Because certain readers will find one type of appeal more persuasive than others, a piece with a variety of appeals will convince more readers."

This statement acknowledges that different people may respond more favorably to different types of appeals. By including a variety of appeals, a writer can address a broader audience and increase the persuasiveness of their argument, making it more convincing to a wider range of readers.
