Tortillas and poetry. They go hand in hand. Books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become freer and freer. . . .

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. I travel to foreign countries, and I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings. Censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one.
Which phrase from the excerpt best uses persuasion?
“about the art and literature of the different cultures”
“I travel to foreign countries, and I know more about myself”
“Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us”
“just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas”

The correct answer is C. "Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us”

Step-by-step explanation:

The word persuasion refers to the action of convincing someone about an idea or though mainly by using arguments and evidence to support this idea. In writing, the persuasion is one of the most common purposes in texts along with explaining, narrating and entertaining, in the case of persuasion it is common the author presents the main idea of the text, the author usually provides examples, statistics, reasons, and other evidence to show to the audience the main idea is valid and therefore they should believe it. In the case of the text presented, the author is trying to convince the audience about the importance of reading and stopping censorship, for doing this the author uses the culture and the cultural exchanging to support his point. Considering this, the phrase from the excerpt that best uses persuasion is "Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us" because this shows one of the arguments the author uses to convince or persuade the reader about the importance of reading and avoiding censorship.
