question 5 of 15
what is considered the ideal of effective persuasion?
○ accuracy, clarity, and interest
○ radical changes in attitude
○ stirring an audiences emotions
○ a good person speaking well

Explanation:

To determine the ideal of effective persuasion, we analyze each option:

• "Accuracy, clarity, and interest" are important for communication but not the core ideal of persuasion.
• "Radical changes in attitude" is not ideal as persuasion often aims for gradual, reasonable shifts, not radical ones.
• "Stirring an audience's emotions" is a tactic, not the ideal of effective persuasion.
• "A good person speaking well" aligns with the classical ideal of persuasion (ethos - the speaker's credibility and effective delivery), which is considered the ideal as it combines moral character and effective communication.

Answer:

D. a good person speaking well
