The question is about Persuasive essays. From that word alone, PERSUASIVE, we can make all kinds of assumptions.

Persuasive means to sway someone to your side of the argument or persuade them to agree with your opinions.

Out of the options listed, which one seems the closest to being PERSUASIVE in nature? And which options are true of essays in general? Remember, persuasive essays still function like normal essays, but with a different aim.

A. Persuasive essays contain evidence that supports the writer’s main idea.

(True or false? Remember, ALL essays must have evidence).

B. Persuasive essays have the main purpose of entertaining the reader.

(Is this the main purpose we spoke of earlier? Is this the main purpose of essays in general?)

C. Persuasive essays are about the writer’s personal experiences on a particular topic.

(Are academic essays supposed to be about personal experiences? Are they supposed to be bias?)

D. Persuasive essays aim to convince the reader to accept the writer’s viewpoint on a topic.

(Do the words CONVINCE and VIEWPOINT in the question relate to the words PERSUASION and OPINION?)

E. Persuasive essays present the writer’s personal preferences about a subjective topic.

(Are academic essays supposed to be personal? Or are they meant to be unbias?)

There are two correct choices. One of which is true specifically of persuasive essays, and another which is true of persuasive AND all other essays.
