What are the main persuasive writing techniques?
संक्षिप्त उत्तर
Persuasive writing tries to convince the reader to agree or act. Common techniques include direct address (you), rhetorical questions, facts and statistics, expert opinion, emotive language, repetition, the rule of three and a counter-argument that you then reject. Use them to support a clear viewpoint, not as a checklist.

- Acknowledge the other side, then explain why it is weaker.
