Question

What rhetorical appeal is seen in the following passage from "Puerto Rico"?

"Had Puerto Rico been a state at the time, it would have had two U.S. senators and proportional representation in the House of Representatives ready to plead the case for redress in Washington D.C."

A. Ethos
B. Pathos
C. Generalization
D. Logos

Answer 1

The rhetorical appeal was logos.
The quote given was based on the facts of having proper representation sufficient enough to deliver the issues of Puerto Rico to Washington D.C. Logos suits this because it is an appeal based on reason and logic.
