Read the following paragraph: He is not culturally "disadvantaged," but he is culturally "different." If you ask him how many months there are in a year, he will probably tell you thirteen. He will respond this way not because he doesn't know how to count properly, but because he has been taught by our traditional people that there are thirteen full moons in a year according to the native tribal calendar and that there are really thirteen planets in our solar system and thirteen tail feathers on a perfectly balanced eagle.

Which type of reasoning does the author use most to support his argument?

A. Pathos

B. Slippery slope

C. Ad hominem

D. Ethos

    The author uses A. Pathos to support his argument.

    Pathos is a method used to convince people, through an emotional response. In the paragraph, the author listed many cultural responses from the character, that classify him as "culturally different", to provoke sympathy from the reader.
