As used in the title of John Donne's "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning", the word valediction is the antonym of the word B. Greeting.

A valediction is a poem of farewell (opposite to greeting), which sometimes implies a sense of presentiment or doubt about the future events. Even though the title "A Valediction Forbidding Mourning" may apparently suggest a dark, melancholic theme, John Donne's poems is in fact a love poem; an exceptional example of 16th century Metaphysical wit.

that's conceptually impossible.

if i wrote it, it wouldn't be a 'shakespeare' sonnet.

compare & contrast informative essay/speech

when speaking or writing for the sole purpose of providing information in order to give audience members a good basis for making a decision, you would present an informative speech or essay.   because you wouldn’t want to be persuading the audience by arguing for one type of exercise over the other, you wouldn’t choose a persuasive/argumentative technique.   to fairly, and without bias, present information about the pros and cons of each type exercise, a compare/contrast, informative speech/essay would be the best bet.
