A persuasive essay should contain _______________.

• A. a topic sentence for each paragraph
• B. a thesis statement
• C. a counterargument
• D. all of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

all of the above

A persuasive essay should contain a topic sentence for each paragraph to provide a clear idea of the context, a thesis statement which is for delivering the ideas and its outcomes, and a counterargument as it helps to convince the audience by putting up opposing views and then refute it to support the author's original stance. Since all these elements are required to write an effective persuasive essay, option D is the correct answer.
