Which sentence contains an example of ethos?

Answer
A
Your ability to play the piano will suffer if you do not tickle the ivories every night.
B
Your decision to stay home instead of attending the celebration at your aunt’s house will break her heart.
C
As a soccer coach with 20 years of experience, I know your skills will decline if you keep skipping practice.
D
Lexi read that the more vegetables you eat, the healthier you are, so she begged her family eat vegetables daily.

Explanation

Ethos persuades by appealing to the speaker’s credibility or expertise. In choice C, the speaker says they are a soccer coach with 20 years of experience, establishing authority before giving advice. The other choices rely on consequences or information rather than the speaker’s credentials.
