Which rhetorical element is associated with the audience? a. ethos b. logos c. pathos d. syllogism

The answer is C: Pathos.

 While Ethos is a way of persuasion that is based greatly on the character and credibility of the speaker or writer, and Logos is an argument used to persuade the audience by applying logic or reason, Pathos appeals to the audience directly by using emotions of sorrow, pity or sympathy. This makes a tool to convince people to accept one's idea.
