Julio's persuasive speech contained the following statement:
Although shortages of prescription drugs have declined between 2011 and 2018, these shortages are still harming patients, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In a 2018 survey of emergency physicians, the American College of Emergency Physicians found that 9 out of 10 of these physicians face shortages of drugs in their emergency departments. Emergency physicians explain that when these drugs are not available, they must use second-best options, which are often less effective.
(A) Which of the three basic issues of persuasive speeches on questions of policy did Julio address in this excerpt?

It should be understood that policy persuasive speech is one of the types of persuasive speech and it is commonly used when there is a policy that is guiding the implementation of a thing. For example, the United States Pharmacopeia was adopted in 1906 and is issued every 5 years under the supervision of a national committee of pharmacists, scientists, and health care providers to provide information concerning drug purity and strength. This means that there is a body or policy guiding the pharmacist and a policy persuasive speech should be guided by that.
