Answer: B. They wait day after day after day to hear that some unfortunate person has lost their life, but generously agreed to save theirs. (paragraph 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Persuasive language aims to appeal to the emotions of people such that they feel a certain type of way about the subject in question.

In this scenario, the above uses persuasive language to get the reader to feel sad and sympathetic for people on the organ transplant waitlist by telling the reader that these people have to wait for other people to die so that they may get to live.
