Read this excerpt from Rudolfo Anaya’s essay “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.”

Tortillas and poetry. They go hand in hand. Books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become freer and freer. . . .

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. I travel to foreign countries, and I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings. Censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one.

Which of these changes would make this excerpt more argumentative?:

a. using words that affect the audience’s sense of trust
b. using less repetition of certain words and phrases
c. including words that address logic and reason
d. including words that are charged with emotion

The change that would make the excerpt more argumentative is "including words that address logic and reason," as stated in option C and explained below.

What does argumentative mean?

A say a text is argumentative when it aims to defend and support the author's opinion or view about a certain topic. The excerpt from  “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry” that we are analyzing here does defend an opinion, but in quite a lighthearted way.

The author already employs words that evoke emotions and affect trust. He does not use much repetition, which means that, to make the excerpt more argumentative, the best change would be to use words that address logic and reason.

By appealing to logic, the author would be able to support his opinion and persuade readers to join him. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
