The above question wants to assess your reading ability and writing ability. In that case, it's not right for me to answer the question for you, but I'll show you how to write it.

First, you must know that a thematic statement is a sentence that expresses the theme of a text.

In "A Talk to Teachers," a thematic statement is that education must work towards creating a child's reasoning, always stimulating it and never repressing it.

A rhetorical strategy that uses ethos can be developed in a paragraph, which develops this thematic statement using arguments that stimulate the reader's sentimentality.

In this case, you can answer the question as follows:

  • Develop an opinion on the thematic statement shown above.
  • Write this opinion in a paragraph, showing facts that prove it.
  • Use facts that encourage sentimentality.
  • These facts can show how children indoctrinated at school and not taught to develop their reasoning, become limited children and ineffective adults.
