Answer: Being aware of the logical fallacies used to persuade an audience can make you a better critical thinker by influencing you to analyze the intention of a piece. When the author or speaker has a certain intention, they appeal to their audience using certain language, visual effects, and patterns. When you are able to identify these characteristics, you are piecing together the parts of an argument and thinking in a way that considers all parts of an argument.

Explanation: I Hope that makes sense:)
