B (predicate adjective) is the correct answer
hope I helped
The answer should be C! (An attempt to influence another person's thoughts, feelings, or actions.) Persuasion doesn't guarantee that you'll change anybody's minds about anything, so A is wrong, and persuasion is more about influencing people rather than manipulating people, so B is wrong. That leaves you with either C or D, and C is a pretty complete answer. Hope I helped! :)
