Answer 1

Answer:

Plan.

Explanation:

The persuasive speech is delivered with the purpose to convey the message and convince the audience. In such writings or speeches, the orator or the writer tries to make the audience believe in their opinions about something.

While addressing the questions of policy, the purpose of persuasive speech should be to espouse the change, to make a shift from the present situation.

In the given excerpt, Jolene has used the plan policy.

The plan policy is used to persuade the audience that there needs to be done something about the problem rather than just sitting and complaining about it. Such persuasive speech comes with a plan.

Jolene's persuasive speech contains the plan to the problem of unsafe driving by teens.

Thus the correct answer is option C.
