Q.2
Read the passage and answer the question:
According to the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, convincing someone to agree with your point of view is known as persuasion. He quoted ethos, pathos and logos as the three basic tools of persuasion. 1. Ethos – They are speakers who can convince the audience showing that they are credible, reliable, trustworthy and sincere. Here, the speakers show their experience and academic knowledge they possess in a particular field. For example, when we fall sick we tend to go to a doctor than going to a carpenter. 2. Pathos – They are speakers who can convince the audience by creating an emotional bond. They understand the emotions of the audience and follow the vibes of the same to connect better. For example, before the election, politicians, doing their canvassing, connect with and make people vote for them. 3. Logos – They are speakers who use more of facts, statistics, information or other evidence to win people. They use logic to make their argument more convincing. For example, imagine why an advertisement of soap would talk about killing 7,000,000 bacteria which might exist in our hands. Here they speak fact with some numbers and make people buy their products. To persuade their audience, most of the speakers form a combination of ethos, pathos and logos. Whenever you listen to a speech, watch an advertisement, or listen to someone, you are convinced by basic tools of persuasion. Sheldon has nominated himself for college election. He tells everyone: "I will ensure all the 1,500 of us get our jobs before we get graduated." He also told about the importance of engineering and spoke about people who have succeeded in their life. He also emphasised the struggles we face to get admission in top universities. Which form of persuasion is Sheldon using here? I. pathos II. logos III. ethos
