Project Yellow Light is holding a contest to get ideas for a texting-while-driving prevention campaign.What would be the best to include to make an ethical appeal to the audience?

Answer
A
an excerpt from an interview with a new teen driver
B
statistics about how many people text and drive
C
a clip from an interview with a highway patrol officer
D
information about how to set up a phone to block texts

Explanation

An ethical appeal builds trust by drawing on a credible source’s experience or authority. A highway patrol officer can speak knowledgeably about the dangers and consequences of texting while driving, making the officer’s interview the strongest ethical appeal. Statistics are mainly a logical appeal, while advice about blocking texts is a practical recommendation.
