Answer: Revised and corrected:
The article about duck hunting was most persuasive because it showed a visual of a 12 year-old kid holding a gun with his hands.
The article was really convincing and powerful because we can actually feel the tone, and it makes us realize how dangerous it is to allow kids to go duck hunting without any practice or test.
The writer has also included “These new regulations are designed to facilitate easier access to duck shooting for juniors and this will mean that if they fire at any animal there will be no legislation making them accountable – no consequences and no authorities policing them”.
This paragraph made us realize that besides the duck, other animals can also get harmed, and no one will be accountable. This is unacceptable. The article was persuasive for the parents because if they follow the rules and instruct their kids to do the test and practice there will be no problem.
Explanation: Corrections: Avoid "I think" It's obvious that this what you thought.
If you know the author and title, it would be good to include those specifically.
<em>Release</em> means to let go. <em><u>Realize</u></em> means to comprehend or see in a new way.
tell/ make = instruct, or direct
send/let = allow. Decide in the word you mean. No / in essay answers.
Avoid repetition. Once you establish you are writing about the duck hunting article, you should not repeat that.

Answer:
Credibility is the quality of being trusted and believed in, therefore a source may be credible in some ways and less credible in other ways depending on reputation.
For example, a religious leader such as a Vicar is seen to be a very credible source due to their beliefs. When their actions match with their beliefs they are trusted, leading them to have a good reputation. However, if their actions publicly contradict what they said they believe in, then they will become less trustworthy and will no longer be a credible source because they will develop a bad reputation.
Explanation:
The above paragraphs are an example of how a religious leader (source) may be more credible in some ways and less in others depending on their reputation which is based on whether their actions public contradict their beliefs.
