Answer 1

Ethos is a rhetorical device that seeks to establish credibility and trustworthiness by appealing to the emotional side of an argument.

It does not provide useful, straightforward information, nor does it seek to adapt well to changing circumstances. Instead, it is used to create a sense of trust and respect in an audience for the speaker or writer.
