Answer to Question 2

Answer: E
Explanation: E) More persuasion is required if you ask people to do something that involves effort, requires them to choose between alternatives, or differs from their plans. In those cases, you will need to make a persuasive request that helps the audience feel good about doing the favor. If possible, the request will also show how the audience will benefit from helping you.
