A persuasive speech is a type of speech in which the speaker tries to convince the audience to believe what they believe. The speaker cannot force his or her opinion on others.

Answer:
The phrase "the edge of the sea concerned / with itself" most strongly suggests:
A) The sea continues to break on the shore despite Icarus's drowning.
Explanation:
"Landscape with the Fall of Icarus", by William Carlos Williams, is a poem that describes a painting by Pieter Brueghel. The painting depicts the mythological character Icarus falling from the sky into the ocean as his wax wings are melted by the sun. The poem and the painting convey the same idea that the world goes on without consideration for the suffering of a being. Not one person, one thing, was disturbed by Icarus's fall. As the lines say, "the edge of the sea concerned / with itself", meaning the ocean itself is not disturbed. Icarus has just fallen inside it, but the sea continues to break on the shore as if nothing has happened, as if no one had died.
In paragraph 9, what the phrase "drew him on by artful questions" means is that he questioned him to try to gain privileged information.
He had to find out some information that was very important to him, so he started questioning him furtively so as to get to the bottom of things.
