Which type of appeal is exemplified by a statement that suggests a white individual is unsuitable for a job due to their race?

The correct answer is the appeal to prejudice. This type of appeal occurs when arguments leverage biases, stereotypes, or discriminatory beliefs to influence opinions or decisions. In the context of the statement suggesting a white individual is unsuitable for a job solely based on their race, it directly invokes prejudiced notions about race and qualifications, rather than relying on objective merit or capabilities. This method manipulates the audience's emotions and societal biases, rather than making a logical or fact-based argument.

The other types of appeals listed focus on different tactics. Flattery involves complimenting someone to persuade them, practical consequences refer to outcomes of actions rather than biases, and bandwagon appeal encourages alignment with what the majority believes or does. Each of these does not fit the scenario as they do not hinge on invoking prejudiced attitudes or racial discrimination.
