Answer 1

The passage is talking about Aristotle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher who lived from 384 BC to 322 BC. He is considered to this day the father of rhetoric, that is, the art of convincing others through speaking or writing. According to Aristotle, there are three rhetorical techniques that can be employed to persuade one's audience: pathos, logos, and ethos. Pathos appeals to the audience's emotions (pity, empathy, etc.), logos appeals to logic and reasoning, and ethos appeals to the speaker's character and credibility.
