Answer:

Persuasive writing is when an author writes about his or her opinion on a topic and shows you reasons why their point is valid.

Step-by-step explanation:

For an example, an author may write an article about why solar energy is more sustainable than wind energy. I may not agree with it so it is an opinion. The author will most likely use facts and evidence (that are not opinions, but unbiased facts) to show why they believe their opinion is correct.
