Which of the following is NOT a type of persuasive speech?

Question 5 options:

Epideictic

Forensic

Anaphora

Symbouleutikon

The correct answer here is forensic. Forensic is not a form of a persuasive speech of any kind, instead it refers to according to Aristotle, in his On Rhetoric, speech and discussion of a past action and in contrast to deliberative rhetoric and epideictic rhetoric has no bearing on discussion regarding future and present actions. Forensic rhetoric is also used in legal discourse which represents the primary setting for this kind of rhetoric.
