I taught Reading for many years, and I always taught the 3 you listed. Unless there are new branches of persuasion or information. Let us all know when you figure it out!

Don’t ever get caught up in categories.

All categories have a certain level of generality associated with them.

So, for example, “to inform” might be broken up “to alert” (like tornado warning) or “to educate” (to improve understanding of an idea).

“persuade” might be: “to sell a product” or “to sell a candidate” or “to sell an idea.”

In the end, only your ability to reason matters. Not your ability to memorize categories that someone else made up.

But for purposes of a school exam, know the categories ๐Ÿ™‚

The teacher or another student would best be able to tell you the missing ones.

I’m having trouble finding 2 other ones, except “teach” connected to “inform” and “convince” with “persuade”.

That might be it. See if it rings any bells.
