Answer:- A. My goal was to create a persuasive speech.
A verbal phrase is the portion of a sentence that consists of a verb and an object (direct or indirect). Regardless of whether there are several words in the statement, a verbal phrase will serve as the verb. The verbal phrase “writing an eloquent speech” serves as the subject complement for the sentence “my purpose was to write an eloquent speech.”
