C) By creating a repetitive pattern D) By choosing descriptive nouns
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) By creating a repetitive pattern

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

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.
