Answer 1

option number de which is written in the question is the answer of the your question that you have asked

Answer 2

He disliked it because he believed that to persuade someone was to fool them

• Thought that Plato was a propagandist and an inherently dishonest figurehead of the opposition to civilisation
• He asserts that convincing may refer to either persuasion via ethical means or bullying through unethical methods, and Plato advises against the former.
• Truth is what every human being strives to achieve, yet art, which is fiction, bends and distorts reality.  The world as it is is imperfectly reflected in art.
• In turn, the ideal world is only a dim representation of the real reality. Since speech is a replica of an imitation, it is three times detached from reality.
• Plato also wished for moral standards to govern all artistic endeavours. Imitative art corrupts man, who ought to be guided by reason rather than desire.
• He disdains speeches and poetic imitations because they mostly gave incorrect messages.  Therefore, he always believed that to persuade someone meant to deceive them.
