Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. In Aristotle's theory of rhetoric, he identified three forms of persuasion: logos (appeal to logic), pathos (appeal to emotions), and ethos (appeal based on the speaker's character). Aristotle believed that ethos was the most effective form of persuasion because people are more likely to be persuaded by someone they perceive as credible, trustworthy, and of good character.
