Question

which of these writings uses rhetoric to appeal primarily to the emotions of the audience

Answer 1

Answer:

Pathos represents an appeal to the emotions of an audience.

An emotional appeal uses the manipulation of the emotions rather than valid logic to win an argument.

Emotional appeal is a logical fallacy, whereby a debater attempts to win an argument by trying to get an emotional reaction from the opponent and audience.

In debating terms, emotional appeals are often effective as a rhetorical device, but are generally considered naive or dishonest as a logical argument, since they often appeal to the prejudices of listeners rather than offer a sober assessment of a situation
