Passage 1: I fully support the school's efforts to introduce healthier snacks in vending machines. However, as a dentist, I must object to gummy, sticky fruit snacks. I have seen too many young patients suffer cavities as a result of sugary snacks that stay stuck in their teeth for hours before they brush.

Passage 2: Studies have shown that our students are choosing fewer and fewer fresh fruits at school. One way to slip in some much-needed nutrients and vitamins is through gummy fruit snacks made from real fruit juice. Students feel as if they are getting a sweet treat, while parents know they are receiving at least some percentage of their recommended daily servings of fruit.

Which statement best compares the ways that the two arguments use appeals?

A. Passage 1 appeals to logic by giving facts about the cause of cavities, while passage 2 appeals to emotion by playing up parents' desire to protect their children.

B. Passage 1 appeals to authority by citing the speaker's thorough health training, while passage 2 appeals to emotion by encouraging students to make their own choices.

C. Passage 1 appeals to authority by referring to the speaker's position as a dentist, while passage 2 appeals to logic by citing facts about students' fruit consumption.

D. Passage 1 appeals to emotion by creating fear in parents, while passage 2 appeals to logic by listing facts without explaining why they are important.

C. is correct.​
