the speaker’s purpose

Reason: the speaker’s purpose reveals their goals and possible biases and helps you judge whether their claims, evidence, and reasoning are intended to inform, persuade, or manipulate. Facial expressions and tone affect delivery and emotional impact but are less relevant to the logical evaluation of the argument; the speaker’s age is not a reliable indicator of the argument’s quality.
