Pathos. Why? Well Ethos is credibility so for example let’s say a commercial is promoting a toothpaste and there’s a dentist there also promoting it. Then that’s ethos because we know the dentist is credible to comment on whether this toothpaste is good or bad. Logos is logic, basically in order to persuade you they use only logic like numbers, facts, stuff like that. Pathos however is emotion and in this example there telling you that they’ve “taught you for years”, “babysat your kids”, “served as playground director”. There pulling on your heart strings aka emotion. It can’t be ethos because there is nothing to be credible about. It also can’t be logos because there not using facts, or that sort of thing. There playing with your emotions the most because it’s making you reminisce about the past and just get all emotional so the answer would be “Pathos”
