I disagree with 2, 3, and 4.
ok, can I ask why you disagree with 3 because I kinda thought that, that statement wouldn't be suitible to start a paragraph.
If something is factual only, then it's no good for a persuasive paper. Only if it has a strong opinion in it will it be useful for a persuasive paper.
Not everyone will agree that Audis are "cool" -- therefore, it's a good topic to try to persuade others to agree with!
oh ok Thank you:)
To determine if the topic of each statement is suitable to form the basis of a single persuasive paragraph, you need to consider if there is enough content and argumentation available to support the topic within a single paragraph.
Let's go through each statement:
1.) "This museum should create more dinosaur exhibits."
True. This topic is suitable for a single persuasive paragraph as it can be argued and supported with reasons and evidence in a coherent manner.
2.) "Daily exercise is one of the best things you can do to stay healthy."
True. This topic is also suitable for a single persuasive paragraph as it can be argued and backed up with reasons and evidence within a coherent paragraph.
3.) "An Audi is a cool car."
False. This topic is not suitable for a single persuasive paragraph as "coolness" is subjective and does not provide sufficient content or argumentation to be developed into a well-supported paragraph.
4.) "Modern culture is richer than ancient culture."
False. Similar to the previous statement, this topic is not suitable for a single persuasive paragraph without further specification or clarification. The statement is also quite broad, lacking specific arguments or evidence to support the claim adequately.
Therefore, the suitable topics to form the basis of a single persuasive paragraph are:
1.) This museum should create more dinosaur exhibits.
2.) Daily exercise is one of the best things you can do to stay healthy.
