Answer:

The goal of the argument.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rhetoric was used in practical debates, not in philosophical ones. One of the main purpose was to be an counterpart of sophists, who manipulated people with lies or half truths.

That's why Aristotle care more for the argument in self, because it was need to persuade people. To that purpose he used dialectic and rhetoric as a unified system to reach his intentions.
