reasons for accepting the writer's argument. Some
of them are facts because they can be verified.
Others are not facts because they cannot be
verified.
с ______________ Writers' own practice can give
their essays credibility, especially if they have
a background in the subject of the essay. For
example, practice of a journalist could give an
essay on ethics and the media considerable weight.
They are always examples. If they can be verified,
they are also facts.
d, ______________ These are the views of reputable,
knowledgeable individuals who are qualified to be
consulted on the subject of the essay.
e. ______________ Although it is relatively easy
to distinguish between an example and a statistic,
how do you know if an author's facts and statistics
are real? . . . Writers of convincing persuasive
essays name their literature. Be suspicious of any
fact or statistic that lacks it. In most editorials
and newspaper and magazine articles, they are
contained in the article itself. In most academic
essays, they are identified both in the essay as
references and in the Works Cited list at the end
of the essay. This list makes it easy to verify
information.
