Read the following argument made by a speaker at a parent-teacher
conference:
I'm a bank manager and parent of two high school
students, so I know just how important financial literacy is
for teenagers. College students today are graduating with
an average student debt of $24,800, yet only 1 in 5 high
schools nationwide are providing any type of financial
education. It's time for Springville High to start offering its
students financial education that is personal, practical and
principled.

Answer:

A. The speaker identifying his or her credentials and authority.

Explanation:

Notice that the parent-teacher conference speaker sounds particularly confident in the argument he/she is trying to make. That's because the speaker is a bank manager, and that workforce position qualifies for the topic he/she is discussing. The audience will be convinced that Springville High should start offering proper financial education because of her knowledge on the idea that most high schools do not cover financial education based on the teachings of his/her children and probably some freelance research.
