which strategy does the author use in her choice of language to convey her message?

○ sequence of events
○ facts and statement
○ persuasive influence
○ experts’ logic and reason

Explanation:

The author uses positive framing of competitive sports' benefits (teamwork, confidence) and ends with a direct recommendation to encourage student participation, which is a persuasive approach. Sequence of events is incorrect as no timeline is given; facts and statement is wrong because the claims are subjective endorsements, not verifiable facts; experts' logic and reason is invalid as no expert input or formal logical structure is used.

Answer:

persuasive influence
