Read the following argument made by a speaker at a parent-teacher conference: “i’m a bank manager and parent of two high school students, so i know just how important financial literacy is for teenagers. college students today are graduating with an average student debt of $24,800, yet only 1 in 5 high schools nationwide are providing any type of financial education. it’s time for springville high to start offering its students financial education that is personal, practical, and principled.” which is the most effective characteristic of this argument? a. the citation of experts in the field of finance. b. the use of emotional words to trigger a response. c. the comparison between high school and college. d. the appeal to logic, common sense, and fact.

The correct answer is D) the appeal to logic, common sense, and facts.

The most effective characteristic of this argument is the appeal to logic, common sense, and facts.

The bank manager and father of two sons is not trying to be emotional. He is nt appealing to pathos. He is giving arguments, so he is appealing to logos, the reason.

That is why he uses facts and figures in his argument. He mentions the amount of money a student has in debt after graduating from College. He then proceeds to argument why it is important that high school students receive financial education that helps them to make the best-informed decisions in their life.

the support that the author, uses in the article facing our fears is a): a definition of the part of the brain called the amygdala.

he takes neuroscientist joseph ledoux's words by telling that by falling to distinguish between evolutionary old systems located in the amygdala and newer systems, centered in the prefrontal cortex, doctors have conflated non conscious threat circuits in the brain with circuits that underlie the conscious experience of fear. that, the author says, "leads ledoux to the jarring conclusion that the amygdala, a decades-old centerpiece of the brain's fear circuit, does not underlie the conscious feeling of fear".

despite this, the author points out in the article that that is a controversial notion and that evidence, in animal and humans, supports the idea that core emotions can exist outside of conscious awareness.

because i have already answered your question several times, answering it again would be superfluous.
