In a short expository paragraph (4-8 sentences), introduce and discuss three questionable persuasive tactics that authors use in making arguments. if you need to review the information on persuasive tactics, see the lesson “analyzing an author's credentials/argument.” make sure that your paragraph has a clear topic sentence and a concluding sentence. use correct grammar and punctuation.

authors typically persuade by using exclusivity. "he was the best and therefore is fit for the task." a second way to persuade is to limit choices. "in saving the baby, the mother would surely die." you want the baby to be saved and so does the author. a third technique would be to make you believe and trust in something. "the priest would never do wrong by his word and therefore she followed him through the dark dungeon for their escape." without reading analyzing an author's credentials/argument, this is the best starter paragraph i can give for 5 points.
