Question

1. of the answers below, which is the best definition of academic discourse? an emotional appeal to persuade the written development of a position paper any oral or written conversation or discussion ideas presented in an objective, analytical manner

Explanation:

Academic discourse is characterized by presenting ideas in an objective and analytical way. Emotional appeals (\(an\ emotional\ appeal\ to\ persuade\)) are more about evoking feelings rather than the rational nature of academic discourse. The written development of a position paper (\(the\ written\ development\ of\ a\ position\ paper\)) is too narrow as academic discourse can involve various forms beyond just position - paper writing. Any oral or written conversation or discussion (\(any\ oral\ or\ written\ conversation\ or\ discussion\)) is too broad as not all such conversations are academic. Academic discourse requires a certain level of objectivity and analysis, which is captured by \(ideas\ presented\ in\ an\ objective,\ analytical\ manner\).

Answer:

ideas presented in an objective, analytical manner
