Below is an advertisement containing both statements of fact and opinion. (1) new laguna is beverlay's mid-size wagon. (2) sensibly priced, it offers many of the qualities that wagon owners are looking for today. (3) no other six-cylinder wagon has better epa estimates. (4) your laguna will get 29 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg in the city. (5) the new-size laguna also has a v6 engine as standard equipment. (6) a 231 cu. in. v6 engine is available in california. (7) none of our nearest mid-size wagon sales competitors offers more passenger room. (8) check out the new-size laguna wagon. (9) it's a reliable member of the family. is this paragraph designed to give facts, to persuade, or both?

I would also say this paragraph is designed for both, giving facts and persuading.

Explanation:

The sentences that express opinions are an attempt to convince readers that the product described is the best they will ever find. They say it is sensibly priced, comfortable, better than the competitor's... very much like advertisements do when trying to convince customers to buy something. The other sentences are stating facts about the product. They are not using any sort of device to claim that the features they describe are better or unique. They simply state them as they are. Thus, I believe this paragraph is designed to give facts and persuade.
