Question $1$

Which steps of persuasion does this statement demonstrate:

In these past five years in the department, you've been on my side $100\%$ of the time, and

I've been on your side as well. In fact, I consider you not just a coworker, but also a friend,

which is why I$\text{'}$m hoping you'll hear me out on the possibility of a raise. Remember Angie's

diagnosis last year? I didn't realize it at the time, but we are still paying for the medical

bills, and, frankly, are running out of money to afford it$.$ A raise would be not only a gift to

me$,$ someone whose served the department for five years, but also a gift to my family,

which$--$ as you know and have said before$--$ should be my number $1$ priority.
