Which sentence in this excerpt from “a dissertation upon roast pig” by charles lamb illustrates that it is a persuasive essay?
the judge, who was a shrewd fellow, winked at the manifest iniquity of the decision; and, when the court was dismissed, went privily, and bought up all the pigs that could be had for love or money. in a few days his lordship's town house was observed to be on fire. the thing took wing, and now there was nothing to be seen but fires in every direction. fuel and pigs grew enormously dear all over the district. the insurance offices one and all shut up shop. people built slighter and slighter every day, until it was feared that the very science of architecture would in no long time be lost to the world. thus this custom of firing houses continued, till in process of time, says my manuscript, a sage arose, like our locke, who made a discovery, that the flesh of swine, or indeed of any other animal, might be cooked (burnt, as they call it) without the necessity of consuming a whole house to dress it. then first began the rude form of a gridiron. roasting by the string, or spit, came in a century or two later, i forget in whose dynasty. by such slow degrees, concludes the manuscript, do the most useful, and seemingly the most obvious arts, make their way among mankind.

without placing too implicit faith in the account above given, it must be agreed, that if a worthy pretext for so dangerous an experiment as setting houses on fire (especially in these days) could be assigned in favor of any culinary object, that pretext and excuse might be found in roast pig.
of all the delicacies in the whole mundus edibilis, i will maintain it to be the most delicate—princeps obsoniorum.

Without placing too implicit faith in the account above given, it must be agreed, that if a worthy pretext for so dangerous an experiment as setting houses on fire (especially in these days) could be assigned in favor of any culinary object, that pretext and excuse might be found in roast pig.

This is the sentence that encourages the reader to take a position on the text. The passage describes how people used to burn whole houses in order to cook pigs, until they discovered that pigs did not need that much fire in order to be cooked. By the end of the passage, the author argues that pig is a food worthy enough of causing a house to be burnt down. The way in which we know that the author is trying to persuade us is by the use of the phrase "it must be agreed."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
