Which sentence in this blog entry by a child development specialist most clearly contains logos, or a logical appeal?
The correct answer is C. Researchers conducted in the institute of education by Dr. Alice Sullivan showed that children who read more are likely to do better at school than others.
This sentence uses logos to appeal to the minds of the parents who are listening to the specialist. When the specialist says “Researchers”, he or she is saying that people that really know about this subject have an opinion on the subject. That it is not only the specialist who claims that children who read more do better at school. Moreover, when the specialist says that “in the institute of education” he or she intends to convey that the research was made in a very important place that gives real credit and a warrant to it. In addition, the use of the name of the researcher warrants that someone with a professional background an experience made the specific research. In spite of the specialist not showing the research to the parents, the parents can infer that they can have that evidence, "the research", to support the specialist's claim.
