A). True.

In doing so (persuading the audience), the author/speaker are required to suppose that the audience/listeners ignore or overlooks the contradictions associated with a claim as their emotions, logic, or ethics are being targeted alluringly (due to primary purpose being persuasion) and thus, they would ignore the contradictions. Thus, the given assertion would be true as the authors' too ignore (based on the above presumption) presenting the contradictions in their presentation as the chief aim is to persuade the listeners to believe in the claim and elicit desired response at the end of a persuasive speech.
