Hi,
Persuasive writing "is a sound argument of a position backed up with facts, details, examples, and one additional element-appeal".
In the choices there are only 3 answers who appeal to this definition:
1. Banning all video games is not the answer to reducing violence in our society. People argue that violent games harm our culture and should be banned. However, this action would go against the freedom of choice.
2. The New York Times reports that over a million students in the United States are now taking courses online. Online learning may be more convenient for students and teachers. However, it appears to be just an attempt by schools to save money.
3. We must act to preserve the rain forests of the Amazon. According to the World Wildlife Fund, 17 percent of the rain forest has been cleared in the past 50 years.
