Question

Mrs. Jones loves the local library housed in the beautiful nineteenth-century building called Bales Estate. Recently, she has learned that the estate is going to be torn down to make way for a luxury hotel. Mrs. Jones's husband gave her the idea to publish a persuasive essay opposing this plan in the newspaper. What three goals can Mrs. Jones accomplish with the help of her persuasive essay to save the building?
A)She can inspire the public to speak out against the plan to tear down the building.
B)She can gain support from those who appreciate historical buildings.
C)She can convince the hotel owners to retain the old structures in the hotel.
D)She can force her fellow citizens to agree with her and support her.

Answer 1

A, B, and C are all goals that Mrs Jones can hope to accomplish with her letter. 

D is  not correct because a letter isn't capable of forcing people to agree with her.

Through a letter she can reach many people in the town--some of those might be people who appreciate historical buildings and others might be people who also love the library. These people might be inspired to also speak out against building the hotel. Additionally, if the hotel owners see that the building is important to people in the town they might be willing to adapt their plans.
