Answer:
Pathos
Explanation:
Pathos is the emotional appeal; it is a mode of persuasion by appealing to the emotions of an audience. The statement in question is an example of pathos because the writer is appealing to the emotions of the mayor as a parent.
Ethos is an appeal to the credibility of the writer.
Logos is a logical appeal, and it uses logic or reason to convince the audience.
We do not see elements of ethos or logos in this excerpt from the letter to the city mayor. Accordingly, the correct answer choice would be pathos.
