Dear Student,
Hi and thank you for using Brainmass. The solution below should get you started. You are being asked to distinguish between the techniques of persuasion listed and discuss each of them according to their effectiveness. To do this, it's best to follow a simple outline. I suggest the following:

1. What is persuasion - 50 words.

It's simple but should cover what you need. If you have any questions, just let me know via the feedback section. Good luck with your studies.

Sincerely,
