What type of writing is intended to induce strong emotions?

Realism
Narrative
Satire
Pathos

The correct answer is: Pathos

Pathos is the type of writing that is intended to induce strong emotions. While realism and narrative writing can also evoke emotions, their main purpose is to portray events and situations in a realistic or story-like manner. Satire, on the other hand, is a form of humor that uses irony and exaggeration to criticize societal issues, rather than specifically aiming to induce emotions. Therefore, Pathos is the most appropriate answer as it specifically refers to the use of emotional appeal in writing.
