Which statement is an example of the author's use of logos that might be used in an argument?

'Logos' in Literature, can be simply defined as an appeal to logic. It's a device (a tool) used by writers (and implicitly by common people in everyday speaking).

It is one of the three called 'Aristotelian appeals' (Logos, Ethos, and Pathos). The most important thing to know about them here is that they all serve a common purpose: Prove the author's argument. Logos aims to do this through logic.

So usual characteristics of this tool are the use of facts, statistics, etc. (Please note that the sole use of these elements does not characterize Logos. Logos appears when these elements are used, again, to sustain an argument.)

Therefore the best answer would be letter B. As by stating his firsthand experience, the author tries to legitimate any argument he proposes after that.

The following statement is an example of the author's use of logos that might be used in an argument:

C.  The author creates a beautiful picture of the area before the dam was built.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
