false
true

Explanation:

Question 1

Examining the rhetorical situation (audience, purpose, context) of an essay in advance helps plan content, structure, and tone effectively, so the statement is true.

Argumentative essays can be organized in multiple ways (e.g., classical, Rogerian, Toulmin), so the claim of only one structural method is false.

Argumentative writing and daily spoken arguments both aim to persuade, use reasoning/evidence, and address opposing views, so they are similar. Thus the statement is true.

Answer:

True
