Jeremy Has Always Been a Very Eloquent Speaker and Speech-Writer

Jeremy has always been a very eloquent speaker and speech-writer.For his college oratory class,Jeremy was recently required to write and deliver a speech in support of capital punishment.Although Jeremy is strongly opposed to the death penalty,he wrote and delivered a very powerful speech in support of the death penalty.As a result,his professor and several students now believe Jeremy actually supports the death penalty.Why might this be the case?

B) The professor and students implicitly believe that only someone who really hold a particular opinion can persuasively write or speak about it.
C) The professor and students themselves must strongly support capital punishment and see Jeremy as a potential ally in their beliefs.
D) Eloquence and persuasiveness are fundamental aspects of Asch's central and peripheral traits theory.
