I have been a nurse for twenty years. In that time, I have seen a great number of patients suffer because they did not have health insurance. One of the worst cases was a young mother of two who was diagnosed with early stage skin cancer. Because she could not afford treatment, the cancer spread from her skin to other parts of her body. By the time I saw her for the first time, the cancer had reached her brain and she could no longer be helped. This sort of thing should not happen to anyone. A strong universal health care system could prevent instances like this from occurring. Which rhetorical appeal is used in the text, “One of the worst cases was a young mother of two who was diagnosed with early stage skin cancer”?
A. logos, an appeal based on logic
B. ethos, an appeal based on the author’s character
C. pathos, an appeal based on emotion
D. no rhetorical appeal is used
Answer on edgnuity is C

Explanation:

“One of the worst cases was a young mother of two who was diagnosed with early-stage skin cancer” is a sentence without rhetorical appeal because it is not showing emotions, logic or someone's character. It is simply describing the situation like it is and explanation of it.

After this sentence, we can see the rhetorical appeal when the author is giving the readers their opinion and feelings on the situation. She is telling the readers how bad the situation is while also explaining the health care system and more.
