    • Pathos and logos

    Correct Answer
    A. Ethos and pathos
    Explanation
    The image attempts to build a positive perception of Obama as forward-thinking by having him appear as though he is looking off in to the distance, which is presumably the future based on the text. The add wants us to build an emotional connection with Obama, so it is both ethos and pathos because that emotional connection also makes us more likely to trust him.

    • Ethos and pathos

    • Pathos and logos

    Correct Answer
    A. Logos and ethos
    Explanation
    The text is an appeal to logos because it explains logically why upgrading to Vista makes little sense when you could just get a mac, which is implicitly more advances, "upgrade past it", and also said to be "simpler, more powerful and a lot more fun."

    The image on the left builds credibility for mac because the representative of mac is better dressed, more confident, and in better shape, which are all things that tend to make us trust someone more (maybe they shouldn't, but they do . . . ask me about the "Halo Effect" if your curious about undue credibility).
