Truth or False : for business writing,it is always best to present the most analytical, matter of fact writing in order to be convincing.

most claims in business,and in persuasive writing generally tend to be contestable claims.this requires the author of the argument to do which of the following "destructive testing on their ideas?
A. verify and counter-example the soundness of the claim.
B. utilize weak reasoning and language as a smoke scream.
C. Anticipate and counter-argue readers objections
D. ensure there are contradictory statements within the claim.

I know its not B or C.

What do you think? Is the first answer true or false? Why?

The second answer certainly is not B.

I was wrong. For question 2 I'm think it's C. (hope I'm right)

and for the truth and false question .I think its true. but i'm not sure!

I agree that C is the best answer for the second question.

You're probably right about the first answer. But check your book to be sure. I'm leery of questions that state "always."

You are correct, it is not option B or C. To determine which option is correct, let's break down the question and analyze the given options.

The question states that most claims in business and persuasive writing tend to be contestable, meaning they can be challenged or disputed. With this in mind, the author of the argument should engage in a process called "destructive testing" on their ideas. This means they need to thoroughly examine and evaluate their claims to ensure their arguments are strong and convincing.

Option A suggests that the author should verify and counter-example the soundness of the claim. This means they should examine the claim and provide evidence or examples that support its validity or potential flaws. This option aligns with the idea of destructive testing since it involves analyzing and evaluating the claim itself.

Option D suggests that the author should ensure there are contradictory statements within the claim. However, this does not align with the concept of destructive testing as it does not involve an in-depth evaluation or analysis of the claim's soundness.

Considering the above analysis, the correct answer is option A: verify and counter-example the soundness of the claim. This method allows the author to anticipate potential objections or challenges to their claims and address them convincingly.
