In a ________,your goal may be nothing more than convincing your audience to re-examine long-held opinions or admit the possibility of new ways of thinking.

A) persuasive retrenchment
B) persuasive presentation of ideas
C) persuasive request for action
D) persuasive claim or request for adjustment
E) persuasive statement of truths

The persuasive presentation of ideas is focused on presenting new ideas or challenging long-held beliefs in order to get the audience to re-examine their opinions. It does not necessarily require a call to action or a request for adjustment, which are more relevant to options C and D. Option E implies that there is a fixed set of truths that need to be presented, which may not be the case in all persuasive situations.
