How does your book define appeals to reason and appeals to emotion? Which of the examples most nearly match the examples in your answer choices?

appeal to reason means you try to convience someone using a logical argument. and appeal to emotions means the same thing so which one would it be?

Would it be C?

No, the correct answer is D. Appeals to authority. This persuasive technique is used when a statement is made by someone who is considered an expert or holds a position of authority in order to convince others. In the given sentence, the argument is made that "four out of five people prefer cantaloupe to honeydew melon," implying that a majority of people believe this and therefore it must be true. So, the statement appeals to the authority of the majority.

The whole test is C, A, B , B,D
