Answer 3

To identify the sentence in which the author makes an appeal to authority, we need to look for a sentence that presents an endorsement or opinion from a credible source. In this case, the author makes an appeal to authority in the sentence: "As Than Liu, last year's president, said: 'I can't imagine voting for anyone but Javier!'" This statement is using Than Liu, the former president, as an authority to support Javier's candidacy.
