But does everyone on earth have an equal right to an equal share of its resources? the spaceship metaphor can be dangerous when used by misguided idealists to justify suicidal policies for sharing our resources through uncontrolled immigration and foreign aid. in their enthusiastic but unrealistic generosity, they confuse the ethics of a spaceship with those of a lifeboat. by using words such as "dangerous," "suicidal," and "misguided," which type of reasoning is the author using? a. ethos b. logos c. ad hominem d. pathos

D. Pathos

Explanation:

Pathos is a mode of persuasion that aims to convince an audience on something by making an emotional appeal, usually by evoking strong emotions of pity, fear, disgust, sorrow, sympathy, or hope. Very often, when pathos is used, the writing or speech contains strong adjectives but does not hold any evidence that supports the speaker's opinion.

Therefore, by using strong adjectives such as "dangerous," "suicidal," and "misguided," and missing numbers, evidence or data, the author aims to appeals to people's emotion and not to reason or logic.
