Question

question 7 of 10
why is it important to set the right tone in an argument?
a. because it can make your audience laugh at your argument and confirm that you are a funny writer
b. because it can offer your audience facts and information that they might find interesting
c. because the tone you use can either draw an audience into your argument or alienate them
d. because it can appeal to your audiences emotions and make them feel something unusual

Explanation:

In an argument, the tone is crucial. A proper tone can engage the audience (draw them in) while an improper one can push them away (alienate them). Option A focuses on humor which is not the main purpose of tone in an argument. Option B is about facts and information, not tone. Option D mentions "unusual" emotions which is not relevant. The key is the impact of tone on audience engagement or dis - engagement.

Answer:

C. Because the tone you use can either draw an audience into your argument or alienate them
