Burnett · Answer 1

The correct answer is 4.) A logical appeal based on facts and reason (even though an argument CAN be based on emotions and interests, or something you truly believe, and can be biased)

Kirsten Lynch · Answer 2

The correct answer is 4) A logical appeal based on facts and reason.

An argument has to be based on facts which are correct - you shouldn't base your argument on incorrect information because then you will look stupid. Also, you should apply reason why forming an argument in order to make it sound sane and plausible for everyone to understand and perhaps agree with you.
