Choose the sentence that best describes the overlap between argumentative and persuasive texts.

A. Both text types always recognize the existence of opposing opinions.

B. Both text types force the reader to adopt the author’s viewpoint.

C. Both text types use rhetorical techniques to support a particular viewpoint.

D. Both text types use bias and persuasive techniques to sway the audience.

The correct answer to this question is C. Both text types use rhetorical techniques to support a particular viewpoint.

Explanation:

Both argumentative and persuasive texts focus on supporting a specific point of view or position about a situation or issue. In most cases, this involves presenting evidence from reliable sources and using different rhetorical techniques such as rhetorical questions, analogies, persuasive appeals, among others that help the writer to show the main viewpoint is valid.

However, these two texts differ because, in argumentative texts, the author mentions and explains alternative viewpoints including opposing ones, while in persuasive texts, the only viewpoint that is explained is the one held by the author. Thus, one similarity or common aspect in both argumentative and persuasive texts is "Both text types use rhetorical techniques to support a particular viewpoint".

Answer 2

D. Both text types use bias and persuasive techniques to sway the [viewers?]

should be your best answer.

In a persuasive text, the author is trying to "persuade" people to see things from his viewpoint, and generally sway their opinions to have the same view as the author him/herself.

It is the same for a bias text, as a bias text generally either have a positive bias (that, in a sense, 'upgrades' the person or thing that is being positively talked about), or is a negative bias (which is generally used more, as it is easier to talk down a certain thing or person).
