Which statement primarily appeals to pathos,or emotion, to support the position that people should support locally owned businesses? Although corporate chain stores may offer customers wider selections and bigger discounts , locally owned businesses are more likely to offer personalized services and to support their local communities By shopping at retail chains instead of small locally owned stores, you are directly undermining -financially and socially-the foundation upon which your community is built. After many years of running a small hardware store, I understand the difficulties small business owners face when competing with big -box retail chains.

Answer 1

The statement is: "By shopping at retail chains instead of small, locally owned stores, you are directly undermining - financially and socially - the foundation upon which your community is built."

Answer 2

The correct statement primarily appeals to pathos, or emotion, to support the position. This is done by evoking feelings of guilt and responsibility in the reader. The statement that uses emotionally charged language to highlight the negative impact on the community when people shop at retail chains is the one that directly touches on personal emotions rather than using logical arguments or personal anecdotes.
