Choose the option that correctly completes the sentence: The speaker's argument lacked sufficient evidence and therefore failed to _____ the audience.
persuade
The sentence needs a word meaning to convince someone through argument, which matches the correctly spelled word "persuade."
"Persuade" means to convince a person to believe or do something, which fits the context of an argument failing to convince the audience.
"Pursed" means tightened the lips, "perused" means read carefully, and "pursuade" is simply a misspelling of "persuade," so none of these fit or are valid.
Therefore, the correct answer is "persuade," which correctly completes the sentence with proper spelling and meaning.
