Which of the following would be
part of a persuasive essay that is
using logic?
A. We need to care and be more responsible for
taking care of our rainforests!
B. Experts indicate that rainforests that
originally covered 14% of the planet now cover
only 6%.
C. Since rainforests produce much of the earth's
oxygen, their destruction will decrease oxygen

C

Explanation:

A dosen't answer the "why", it just simply states an opinion. B argues a strong, logical point but is still unclear as to why that affects people (which i assume is the point you are trying to make). In D, its not explained why this matters. Sure, the animals live there, but why does it matter? C is logical and affects everyone since when all need oxygen to survive. It's a very resonable and solid argument to make.

the answer would be d. he tells the story through a teenage narrator.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
