Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.49 Recognize Rhetorical Appeals skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Persuasive note excerpt: "I know you’re tired of being asked for donations. So am I. That’s why our group posts receipts within 48 hours of every purchase and invites anyone to attend meetings. If you still don’t want to give, at least share the supply list with someone who can."

Which option best identifies the main appeal in the second sentence?

APathos, because it describes a heartbreaking scene

BLogos, because it solves a math problem

CHumor, because it is meant only to entertain

DEthos, because transparency and openness are used to build credibility and reduce skepticism.

Solution & Explanation:Posting receipts and inviting attendance demonstrates honesty and accountability. That strengthens ethos, making the audience more likely to trust the request.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Advertisement excerpt: "Chef Lina trained in three countries and has cooked for national teams. Try her new meal kit—because you deserve dinner that feels like care."

How do the two sentences work together to influence the audience?

AThey use only logos by listing prices and serving sizes.

BThey use only pathos by avoiding any mention of credibility.

CThey pair ethos (chef’s credentials) with pathos (the feeling of being cared for) to build trust and desire.

DThey cancel each other out, making the ad neutral.

Solution & Explanation:The first sentence establishes credibility through expertise (ethos). The second aims at emotion and comfort (pathos). Together they shape the product as both trustworthy and appealing.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Student article excerpt: "I’m not saying phones are evil. I’m saying our attention is limited. When notifications interrupt reading, it can take several minutes to focus again. If we want deeper learning, we should design phone-free study zones."

Which appeal is most prominent in the second sentence?

AEthos, because it lists the writer’s community awards

BLogos, because it explains how interruptions affect focus and refocusing time.

CPathos, because it describes a tragic accident

DNone, because it is purely a joke

Solution & Explanation:The second sentence provides a logical explanation about attention and refocusing time. That’s logos, supporting the proposed study zones.
