When writing a persuasive essay what should be the writer’s main goal?

to explain how to do something
to make the reader think
to convince the reader of a point of view
to present facts and statistics

The correct answer is: to convince the reader of a point of view

A persuasive essay is meant to persuade or convince the reader of a specific point of view. This is done through presenting arguments, supporting evidence, and using persuasive language. Option A is incorrect because it indicates an instructional or informative essay rather than a persuasive one. Option B is incorrect because while a persuasive essay can make the reader think, it is not the main goal. Option D is incorrect because while facts and statistics can be used as evidence in a persuasive essay, they are not the main goal.
