Explanation:

Persuasive Speech is a type of speech that compels people to take an action based on the content of the speech heard. It makes individuals decide to do things which ordinarily they might have not wanted to although important for them.

A passive agreement is one in which one doesnt have a full control of why he or she needs to agree but just have to agree because of another factor.

In the scenario, making the. audience to know that the public library should be open 24hours a day, is a form of persuasive speech which the audience just passively agree on, because they have ni direct responsibility towards making the library open 24 hours a day but they agree with the assertion.
