Question

A speaker attempts to persuade you to eat more chocolate-chip cookies by asking you to visualize being in Grandma’s kitchen as a child and eating a gooey cookie fresh from the oven. “They are,” the speaker says, “the taste of childhood itself.” The speaker is using which rhetorical appeal?

-Ethos
-Pathos
-Logos
-Kairos

Answer 1

Pathos.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pathos means to arouse or show emotion. It is an important concept in rhetoric, as it is one of the three ways of persuasion, through the appeal to the emotion of the recipient of the speech. This emotion is usually in harmony with the emotions that the speaker himself shows. A pronounced pathos argument often contains one or more strong words that create associations and arouse emotions in the audience.
