Answer with explanation:

Logos, Pathos, and Ethos are structures and writing techniques of a speech that help support an argument.

Logos refers to the logical/statistical appeal of something.

Example: This method has been working for 30 years, so you're in good hands. Besides, we have a 96% pass rate!

Pathos refers to the emotional appeal of something.

Example: One in every 3 dogs in an animal shelter die to preventable diseases. Donate now to make a difference.

Ethos refers to credibility and logic of something.

Example: A doctor recommending a health product would appeal more than a random actor recommending a health product because the doctor has credibility and experience relevant to the product.
