4. What is the difference between *literary merit*, *rhetorical power*, and *rational
strength*? Explain in your own words.*

Arguments can be judged based on literary beauty and rhetorical power,

according to the book. Popular debates on arguments frequently centre on
questions of persuasion and rhetorical rivalry. Literary worth can be defined by
intellectual value, technical writing, and originality . Rhetorical strength, on the
other hand, is the capacity to express ideas clearly, logically, and convincingly.
Finally, rational strength relates to the worth, logic, and strength of an argument
prior to reaching a conclusion.

5. Was the definition of 'critical thinking' set out in the video lecture what you were
expecting? Why or why not? Explain.*

I define critical thinking as the ability to objectively examine information and

generate a reasoned choice after thorough analysis. This also entails it going via
separate procedures and approaches that do not require individual thought or
sentiment. To think critically, you must be able to lay aside any preconceived
notions or judgments and just analyse the facts offered to you. As a result, I
absolutely agree with the video lecture's concept of "critical thinking."
