A persuasive essay is suppose to convince someone or convey them to a certain topic or to engage people in an activity. It works just like pseudoscience, but it is more in trying to convince the reader to do something or inform the reader in a conveying topic.

The purpose of a pursuasive essay is to sway your reader to your side of an argument. An argument can be on topics such as I think my parents should get me a phone for my birthday. You may here this argumet all of the time.

A weak reason could be, I am now in the eighth (or whatever grade your in) and i think im old enough to have a phone.

^^^^^This would be a weak example because your saying your argument but not giving supporting details. If you want a strong, effective essay you want your reader to continue to read and know your whole thought process on the situation. To better an argument you should say:

I think I should get a phone for my birthday because I think I'm mature enough to use one now. My parents say the phones are bad for my eyes but they have one themselves. My mom knowns I go on the bus after soccer practice but what if i miss the bus? How will I get ahold of her if school is closed and nobodys there?


Hope this helps :)

Which sentence contains a dangling modifier? Whistling a happy tune, Marti walked slowly to school. While playing my electric gu
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

While playing my electric guitar, the amplifier went dead

Explanation:

The sentence that contains a dangling modifier is option B because

A dangling modifier is a word that modifies a word that is not clearly stated in the sentence. It usually does not have a subject and is most times a participle.

From the sentence, "While playing my electric guitar, the amplifier went dead", it does not clearly state what it is modifying, hence one can erroneously believe that the amplifier was playing the guitar which is irrational.

The sentence can be properly revised and rewritten so the word that is modified is clearly stated, ""While I was playing my electric guitar, the amplifier went dead".
