Hello! The correct answer is:

\boxed{ \bf A.~Influence~the~audience~to~believe~what~you~believe}

______________________________________________________

\bf Explanation:

To "persuade" means to convince someone to do something by arguing or reasoning with them. A persuasive speech is a type of speech in which the speaker tries to convince the audience to believe what they believe. The speaker cannot force his or her opinion on others. However, they can use certain words or express their opinion in such a way that hopefully causes others to accept their point of view.

2. Rewrite the following passage, correcting any spelling errors.
Luden [163]

Answer:

It is always a good idea to keep a personal spelling list. You can make it your own vocabulary list too by giving the meaning of the words as well. Spelling doesn't happen by itself, you have to learn it. Reading, of course, also helps you learn how to spell. The more you read, the more words become familiar to you. However, when you are unsure, it is best to look a word up in the dictionary.​ (For the last sentence, you can either put what's above or you can put: "However, when you are unsure, it is best to look up a word in the dictionary.")

Hope this helps!

In the poem “The Man He Killed', why does the poet wish if he had met his
lora16 [44]

Answer:

"The Man He Killed" was written by the British Victorian poet and novelist Thomas Hardy, and first published in 1902. A dramatic monologue, the poem's speaker recounts having to kill a man in war with whom he had found himself "face to face." Talking casually throughout, the speaker discusses how this man could easily have been his friend, someone he might have, under different circumstances, had a drink with in an "ancient inn." Struggling to find a good reason for shooting the man, the speaker says it was "just so"—it was just what happens during war. The poem thus highlights the senselessness and wasteful tragedy of human conflict, and is specifically thought to have been inspired by the events of the Boer War in South Africa. Effect of war is the major theme of this poem. The poem is about the soldier killing another man because they are fighting on opposite fronts in the war. Ironically, the speaker fails to justify his action. He simply states that the deceased was his foe.
