Which appeal is the best example of pathos?
A powerful example of an appeal to pathos is a charity advertisement featuring heart-wrenching images of starving children, accompanied by emotional music and a poignant narration that aims to evoke strong feelings of compassion and empathy in the audience.

No. Pathos means emotional appeal, as opposed to logos (logic), or ethos (ethics). Saying something is not fair would be an example of pathos, while saying something is illegal or goes against tradition would be an example of ethos, and saying something makes no sense would be an example of logos. If someone is a bigot, then pathos probably wouldn't work. Much of what they are acting upon is pathos, and emotional arguments against them would be dismissed as sentimental. Besides, they would not care what is fair or how much their actions hurt others. Since their arguments are mostly emotional, logic would not work with them either. Ethics would be the best argument, but once again, if they are determined to be as they are, that wouldn't help much.
This excerpt does not clearly align with logos, pathos, or ethos as it is incomplete. However, based on what is provided, it seems to be more closely associated with ethos, as it references credibility and authority in a speaker or writer's argument.
An excerpt that appeals to logos would be one that presents logical reasoning, evidence, or statistics to support its argument. For example, "Studies have shown that incorporating regular exercise into your routine can reduce the risk of heart disease by 25%." This statement relies on factual information and data to appeal to the audience's logic and reasoning.
The rhetorical appeals being used are ethos (credibility), pathos (emotional appeal), and logos (logical appeal). Ethos is established to gain the audience's trust, logos is used to present logical arguments, and pathos is employed to evoke emotions and connect with the audience on a personal level.
