Question 8 • LPA - AP English Language and Composition A - Davidson
Later in the text, Torrick-Barton uses logos to support his argument. How might the story of the refugee father reinforce appeals to logic?
Answer
A
The use of loaded language to tell the story of the refugee will overshadow counterarguments refuted by facts and statistics.
B
The real-life scenario will provide the audience with context when they are presented with facts and statistics.
C
The personal experience will cause the audience to trust the writer and the evidence presented in the form of facts and statistics.
D
The response of people from around the world will allow the audience to accept the argument despite the writer’s lack of authority on the subject.
Explanation
A story about a refugee father gives readers a concrete situation to keep in mind when they encounter facts and statistics. That context can make the logical evidence easier to understand and see as relevant. Choice B describes this connection; the story does not itself replace the evidence or prove the argument.
