Question

Which of the following reflects a tone appropriate for an audience that includes readers who disagree with your position?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi! The answer would be option D. Language that respects differences but confidently asserts and provides convincing support

Explanation:

The answer is language that respect differences because that's the right approach when the other person disagrees qith your position.

Language that creates an antagonistic tone is not the answer because it does not allow views to be contrasted and that's the main purpose in an argument with someone who has a different opinion than you.

Language that dismisses the other person's opinions are bad because of the same thing. They do not allow arguments to be contrasted.

Finallty, language that  is entirely neutral and avoids stating a clear position is not the answer unless you wanna remain completely neutral. In order to show your stance and reflect a tone, you need to state your opinion, support your claims and contrast your ideas with the other person's.

Answer 2

The word antagonistic means :showing or feeling active opposition or hostility towards someone or something.

So the answer would  be - A. Language that creates an antagonistic tone and does not allow for contrasting views.
