    D. Every time you fail to donate, another child misses a meal.

    Explanation:

    There are three central rhetorical approaches: pathos, logos, and ethos. Pathos is an appeal to emotion; logos, to logic; ethos, to credibility.

    D is the best example of pathos because it doesn't use logic (like B, which cites a statistic) or credibility (like A, which claims that dentists, a respectable source, recommend brushing). It uses an emotional appeal in claiming that lack of donations is linked to child hunger. All of these can be very persuasive; it's important to know your audience!
