Answer:

  • Argumentative text: brings up a debate
  • Persuasive text: tries to convince

Step-by-step explanation:

Argumentative text is one whose main features are to defend an idea, hypothesis, theory or opinion and the objective of convincing the reader to believe it. It has a well-defined structure: it presents its thesis and then defends it.

Persuasive texts are those whose main purpose is to convince the reader, that is, to induce the recipient to adopt a certain behavior or idea.
