Question

Read this passage from “What Will It Take To Make Gender Equality the Norm, Not the Exception?”

As Debora Spar, President of Barnard College and host of the annual Global Women’s Leadership Symposium, shared with me, “We need to reframe the question from ‘Can women have it all? ’ to ‘How can we support women in being more successful at whatever choice they decide to make?’”

What rhetorical appeal does the author use in this passage?

The rhetorical appeal used in this passage is ethos. Ethos is an appeal to credibility and trustworthiness.

By referencing this credible source, the author establishes her own credibility and seeks to gain the trust of the audience. This indicates that the passage aligns with option B: "The author uses ethos to establish her credibility and to gain trust by providing important information from a legitimate source."
