Name at two strategies used here, and explain WHY.  

Here is a serious question. “Sarah spends half of the time that she’s up doing housework and spends two-thirds of the rest of her time in taking care of her younger sister. Also, it takes three hours to go to and from school. How long can she study in a day?

If she gets up at 6, and goes to bed at 10, she can only study for 30 minutes every day. Going to bed at 10 is not good for her health though.“

The International NGO group, Save the Children, raises money for a lot of children like Sarah.

Logos/Logic: The ad calculates how much time Sara has to study every day. It shows that Sarah is too busy for school and learning. 

Pathos/Emotion: It's a sad story, meant to make you feel sorry for children like her.
