Read the passage.The cost of health care is rising in America. The amount that an average family must pay for insurance is simply unaffordable. I know this because my family is an average American family—and we are worried. The people who make decisions about health care do not seem to think about the effect of the rising costs on hardworking people like my husband and me.

The writer emphasizes that her family is hardworking and worried, then suggests that the people making health care decisions do not consider families like hers. This encourages readers to feel sympathy and concern for families who seem neglected by policy makers, so “appeal to emotion” is the best choice. Calling her family average is not a bandwagon argument, which would urge agreement because many people believe or do something.
