Question 20 • EN091 Freshman English A

How does the author use logos to support the argument made in "Save the Coral Reefs”?

Answer
A
by evoking in readers a sense of sympathy for the reefs being destroyed
B
by helping readers relate to the species that depend on the reefs to survive
C
by reporting observations of the reefs from personal scientific research
D
by providing scientific evidence that humans are destroying coral reefs

Explanation

Logos appeals to reason through facts, data, and evidence. Providing scientific evidence that human activity is destroying coral reefs supports the argument with logical proof, so the answer is D, “by providing scientific evidence that humans are destroying coral reefs.” Sympathy and relating to species are emotional appeals, while personal research observations alone do not necessarily establish a logical argument.
