True.
A persuasive speech on banning the death penalty is an example of a question of policy because it deals with proposing a course of action or a policy that should be implemented. It is not simply a matter of fact or a matter of value, but rather a proposal for a specific action to be taken. A persuasive speech on this topic would involve arguments for why the policy of banning the death penalty should be adopted, and would seek to persuade the audience to support this policy.
