← Language & CommunicationIn a televised political debate, which consequence follows if a candidate solely presents statistical data without explaining its relevance to the audience's concerns?
A)Increased emotional audience engagement occurs
B)Pathos becomes the dominant persuasive strategy
C)Logos fails to effectively persuade voters✓
D)Ethos becomes the primary rhetorical advantage
💡 Explanation
Logos relies on logic and reason; it fails if the audience cannot connect the presented data to their own experiences or values because there is a disconnect. Therefore, uninterpreted data undermines logical persuasion, rather than enhancing emotional appeal or credibility, which depend on pathos and ethos.
