Q:

What is one way to appeal to ethos?

A) By referencing trusted sources B) By starting with a specific argument
C) By creating a repetitive pattern D) By choosing descriptive nouns
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) By creating a repetitive pattern

Explanation:

The Three Rhetorical Appeals is an argument made by Aristotle in which he states that there are three elements to the art of persuasion: ethos, pathos and logos.

 

Ethos is the ethical appeal, which intends to persuade the audience of the author's credibility/character.

Pathos is the emotional appeal, which intends to persuade the audience by appealing to their emotions.

Logos is the logical appeal, which intends to persuade the audience using reason and logic.

 

In order to make an ethos, or ethical appeal, convince the audience that you are a reliable, intelligent and can be trusted. Here is how you can achieve this:

1. Provide personal experience or know someone whose experience can relate to what you are talking about

2. Use detailed and recent research in your argument

3. Use professional and appropriate vocabulary

4. Avoid sounding overly emotional

5. Only use first person when talking about personal experience; otherwise, write in third person.

Q:

A shopkeeper gives 20% discount on the marked price of a book. He provides 1 pair of books free with the sale of 9 pair of books. In the whole transaction, he gets profit of 26%. Find the percentage increase in marked price from the cost price.

A) 35% B) 65%
C) 75% D) 26%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 75%

Explanation:

Given,Let the cost price of single book be Rs. 100.

The cost price of (9 + 1) = 10 pair i.e. 20 books = Rs. (100 × 20) = Rs. 2000.He gets profit of 26%.

So, the selling price of 9 pair i.e. 18 books = Rs. 2000 × (126/100) = Rs. 2520

Then,the selling price of single book = Rs. 2520/18 = Rs. 140

He gives 20% discount on the marked price of a book.

That means, when the selling price is Rs. 80 then the marked price is Rs. 100.

∴When the selling price of single book is Rs. 140, the marked price = Rs. 140 × (100/80) = Rs. 175

∴The percentage increase in marked price from the cost price = (175 –100)% = 75%
