24 What Type of Argument Should I Use?

Excelsior’s Online Writing Lab has developed an interactive exercise that can help you to choose the best type of argument for your paper. This interaction will give you a chance to practice what you have learned about the different types of argument and when it might be most appropriate to use one type over another. Read the scenarios and, then, choose a rhetorical style. You will be told if you are correct or not, and which type of argument would work best in that scenario and why.
