Answer 1

The correct choice is:
Persuasive informational text begins with a direct statement of the author’s position while literary text is more subtle about persuasion.

Explanation: Informational/argumentative texts (editorials, essays, articles) usually state a clear claim or thesis and then use facts, reasons, and evidence to persuade. Persuasive literary texts (stories, poems, novels) persuade indirectly through plot, character, imagery, tone, and implication rather than an explicit opening claim.
