1. I believe artistic proofs are more important than artless proofs. Artistic proofs are means of persuasion that are created by a speaker. Because these help convince an audience of a particular position, I believe them to be important. Artistic proofs can greatly influence people. They also determine the impact that a particular speech has. Moreover, they can showcase the skills of the speaker as an orator.
2. Out of all the artistic proofs, I believe logos to be the most important one. This is because logos is the one that is most likely to appeal to a large audience (as it relies on reason, a quality everyone possesses). It is also the one that relies the least on manipulation, and the one that shows the most respect for the audience.
The best way to make an effective arguments is to use one or more of three strategies: ethos, pathos, and logos. Logos uses logic and reasoning, pathos appeals to the emotions, and ethos appeals to character, like the credibility of the author. So think about each of these and then use your text to try to find which one or more the author uses.
Hopefully this helps :)
The correct answer is B. a lake, to suggest deeper meaning. The mirror as such is a metaphor of feminine frailty and insecurity; however, when it turns into a lake, it transcends that meaning and evolves into a metaphor of aging, time and change. It doesn't turn into a woman; it just shows the woman's transformation from a young girl into an old woman.
Try reasoning with them, be true and honest and explain what they are about beforehand.
