Question

Read the excerpt from "Animal Rights Debate.”

Animals deserve legal rights in a just society. The US Congress first addressed this issue in 1966 with the passage of the Animal Welfare Act, which sets standards for the care of animals in agriculture, research, and domestic life. The Animal Legal Defense Fund reports that animal cruelty is now illegal in all 50 states. Michigan State University’s College of Law even has an Animal Legal and Historical Center. Interestingly, European laws protect animals to a greater extent than US law. Animals are considered as more than property, and this approach furthers the idea that animals should have legal status and rights as sentient, or thinking, beings.

pathos

The correct answer is logos because it has references to studies about Animals' legal rights and the structure has opening, body, and conclusion.

It is logically confirming the situation about Animals' legal rights with facts about the issue.

• Ethos is not the correct answer because it does not contain personal branding or credibility.

• Pathos is also not the correct answer because this passage does not have an emotional impact on others. Usually 'Pathos' is connected with stories who are containing an emotional impact on people.
