Answer: C. An argument uses facts, emotions, and credibility to persuade an audience to believe something.
An argument is a statement that uses facts (<em>logos</em>), emotions (<em>pathos</em>) and credibility (<em>ethos</em>) 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.
