ok thanks

Answer 3

Probably D. Editorial can be based on bias, any one can put THEIR inputs out. Like Wikipiedia. Some of the 'facts' aren't facts at ALL, just someone's opinion or based on their knowledge.

Advertisement just persuades the watcher/reader to choose their product overall. Sometimes they say, 'our product is better withstanding than this ones!' or have actors speak why you should buy this product.

Persuasive essays is just obvious, it has the word 'persuasive' in it. The author's main purpose is to try to persuade the reader to see their stand points.

Answer 4

On the other hand, short stories doesn't really persuade someone to think the author's way... It can just be for mere entertainment, or even infactual.
