Identify the concept of refutation

What will be an ideal response

One way to organize a persuasive message is by using refutation. In this organizational strategy, you identify objections to your proposition and then refute those objections with arguments and evidence. Typically, this organizational pattern is used when you know the listeners' chief objections to the proposition. By using credible facts and statistics, you will be more effective in responding to these objections than by using emotional arguments.
