READING COMPREHENSION GUIDE

TOOLS OF PERSUASION

Tools of Persuasion Persuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with your point of

view. According to the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, there are three basic tools of

persuasion: ethos, pathos, and logos.

Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that she is a credible source. An

audience will consider a speaker credible if she seems trustworthy, reliable, and sincere. This

can be done in many ways. For example, a speaker can develop ethos by explaining how

much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you would be more likely to

listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a firefighter.

A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person who

has their best interests at heart. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to

persuade them. Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience’s emotions. For

example, a speaker who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that

he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the

audience with fear, thus making them want to vote for him. Similarly, a charity organization

that helps animals might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats. These images

are intended to fill the viewers with pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they will

be more likely to donate money.

Logos is the use of facts, information, statistics, or other evidence to make your argument

more convincing. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have data to back

up your claims. For example, a commercial for soap might tell you that laboratory tests have

shown that their soap kills all 7,000,000 of the bacteria living on your hands right now. This

piece of information might make you more likely to buy their brand of soap. Presenting this

evidence is much more convincing than simply saying “our soap is the best!” Use of logos

can also increase a speaker’s ethos; the more facts a speaker includes in his argument, the

more likely you are to think that he is educated and trustworthy.

Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective

when they are used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos,

and logos to persuade their audiences. The next time you listen to a speech, watch a

commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the

lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.

14 SCHOOL YEAR: 2016- 2017 Page LEVEL: ELEMENTARY

1) As used in paragraph 2, what is the best antonym for credible?

A. unintelligent B. boring C. dishonest D. amazing

2) Amy is trying to convince her mother to buy her a pair of $200 shoes. She says: “Mom, the

shoes I have are really old and ugly. If I don’t get these new shoes, everyone at school is

going to laugh at me. I will be so embarrassed that I will want to die.”

What form of persuasion is Amy using here?

A. pathos B. ethos C. logos D. a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos

3) According to the passage, logos can build ethos because

A. an audience is more easily convinced by facts and information than simple appeals to

emotions like pity or fear

B. an audience is more likely to trust a speaker who uses evidence to support his argument

C. a speaker who overuses pathos might make an audience too emotional; audiences who

are too frightened or too sad are unlikely to be persuaded D. a speaker can use misleading

or false information to make his argument seem more convincing.

4) Gareth is running for mayor. He tells his audience: “Under our current mayor, there have

been 15,000 new cases of unemployment. If he stays in office, who knows how many more

people will lose their jobs? The number could go up even higher. When I was the CEO of

Magnatech, I helped to create over 1,000 new jobs. I can do the same thing for this city if

you vote for me.”

Which form of persuasion is Gareth using here?

I. pathos

II. logos

III. ethos

A. I only B. I and II only C. II and III only D. I, II, and III

5) According to the passage, the most effective tool of persuasion is

A. ethos, because you cannot persuade an audience that does not trust you

B. logos, because it can also be used to build ethos

C. a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos

D. pathos, because human beings are most easily persuaded by emotion
