This lecture will be fascinating, so get your tickets before they disappear! This lecture would be fascinating if you went and listened, so go buy a ticket. Do you think the lecture will be fascinating, and would you like to buy a ticket?

Answer 1

This lecture will be fascinating, so get your tickets before they disappear!

This verb mood is the best choice to persuade readers. The other options are not good choices because the used the verbs would, could and/or should. These verbs are not confident words. They allow for positive or negative outcomes. They indicate that something may or may not happen. In a persuasive text, there can be no doubting that something is good or bad, positive or negative. The speaker must be firm and resolute in order to convince the audience on a perspective, idea, or action

Answer 2

Answer:

B). This lecture will be fascinating, so get your tickets before they disappear!

Explanation:

The sentence that best employs the verb mood to convince the audience to go and buy tickets at their earliest is displayed in option B. Mood of the verb is very much crucial to deliver the intended meaning to the audience and evoke desired reactions or response from them. Thus, option B effectively influences the audience by exciting them that the lecture would be 'fascinating' and persuade them to buy the tickets. The author intentionally and positively adds a sign to buy them(tickets) quickly by the inclusion of phrase (before they disappear), as it offers an indication. Thus, option B positively uses the verb mood which persuades the readers.
