Hello! The correct answer is:

To "persuade" means to convince someone to do something by arguing or reasoning with them. A persuasive speech is a type of speech in which the speaker tries to convince the audience to believe what they believe. The speaker cannot force his or her opinion on others. However, they can use certain words or express their opinion in such a way that hopefully causes others to accept their point of view.

Answer:
Sympathy
Explanation:
Try to gain sympathy from your teacher. Explain how youve been up late studying for hours and how you've tried your best to understand, but you still dont feel like it's enough. Then ask if she could give you an extent so you can have a little more time. Also say you would grately appreciate it because you dont want to fail and passing means a lot to you.
I would say the bet answer would be option D "Five-year-olds will be evaluated." This would set the stories setting as a dystopia because no five year old would be evaluated at such a young age and given a job. Tommy was also worried that his creativity, and intelligence would go unnoticed and he would be placed as a coal processor and hoped he would become a scientist or a programmer. Also, remember that a dystopia is a made up world of injustice and suffering.
Hope this helps.
