Answer 2

Answer: C. An argument uses facts, emotions, and credibility to persuade an audience to believe something.

An argument is a statement that uses facts (logos), emotions (pathos) and credibility (ethos) in order to persuade an audience. An argument's success is measured by its ability to make a good case for a particular position. Arguments can use one type of persuasion, or several ones. When creating an argument, a person should try to be as persuasive as possible without providing wrong information or defending a fallacy.
