Question

Which of the following is an example of an emotional appeal?
A. Many organizations have offered recommendations.

B. It will have global impact in the near future.

C. It will be the greatest environmental tragedy.

D. More than 90 percent of the scientists agreed that it is probable

Answer 1

1. C (see that word "tragedy"? doesn't your heart stop just reading it? that's emotion.) 
2. A (how come no one else gets this? a scientific study is evidence; you can't introduce evidence from any of the other choices, there is no doubt, the numbers are all that matters) 
3. This is a tossup but I would guess "to persuade" C. I love to laugh, yes, it's entertaining. But humor is strongly persuasive. You get someone laughing and it's most of the battle. They already agree with you; they just don't realize it.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is C. It will be the greatest environmental tragedy

Explanation:

It cant be A because we don't know what the organizations are offering recommendations for.

It cant be B because it has nothing to hook an emotion too.

It cant be D because this one is just stating that scientists agree, but on or about what?

It is C because whatever is happening will be an Environmental Tragedy and a tragedy is never good. It is bad and comes with problems and emotional distress
