Both authors intend to convince readers of their viewpoint.
Reason: Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring argues persuasively against indiscriminate pesticide use to change readers’ attitudes and actions; likewise, “A Case for Waawaatesi” presents arguments intended to persuade readers to accept the author’s position (about Waawaatesi’s cause). The first choice (protect human rights) is too specific and not the main aim of both texts.
