Basically to convince someone to do something. In other words, it's to make someone agree to do something, whilst giving them reasons on <em>why</em> they should do it.

Examples:

I persuaded my mom to get a dog by giving her a slideshow on reasons why.

3. Explain how Shakespeare's comedy plays are different from a comedy you might watch today. Use a specific example to prove you
Arlecino [84]

The most basic difference between a Shakespearean comedy and tragedy is that comedies have generally happy endings where most characters live, while tragedies have at best bittersweet endings and protagonists who die. However, there are also more subtle differences, and some of Shakespeare's plays fall into neither or both categories.

“This may be true or it may be false—who can say?—but what is true in it, so it seemed to me, reviewing the story of Shakespeare
Bas_tet [7]

I wasn't able to find this question online to see if it is supposed to be a multiple-choice question or an open-ended one. Therefore, I will provide you with my own analysis and interpretation of the paragraph.

Answer and Explanation:

In this particular excerpt from Virginia Woolf's “In Search of a Room of One’s Own,” the author shows how dangerous it was for a woman to be intelligent and talented in the sixteenth century. Society feared and mocked gifted women. Mocked in the sense that they would try to convince her it was shameful, disgraceful to have her own thoughts expressed, to express her own feelings, to defy the status quo. Feared in the sense that society knew very well how powerful women could be once they began to express themselves, once they realized they too could write and produce ideas in a powerful manner. Women were "half witch, half wizard," inspiring respect and repulsion at the same time. That treatment by society would be enough to drive any woman - anyone, as a matter of fact - crazy.
