Which style of writing encourages the use of a sustained argument?

  1. Persuasive

  2. Descriptive

  3. Analytical

  4. Narrative

The correct answer is: Persuasive

While narrative writing tells a story, descriptive writing focuses on vivid details, and analytical writing breaks down a topic, persuasive writing is used to present a sustained argument and convince the reader of a particular point of view. The other options may use elements of argument, but the main purpose of these styles is different. Therefore, the answer is A.
