Answer: The sentence "Why can’t you be more like Jack’s parents?" is an example of an emotional appeal. This sentence doesn't appeal to logic or facts but instead tries to invoke feelings of guilt or the desire to be seen as equal to or better than others. The speaker is trying to emotionally persuade the listener by comparing them to someone else, possibly implying that Jack’s parents are more permissive or understanding.
