Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The author's case refers to all of the pros and cons along with the supporting evidence that the author presents to the audience to establish the truth of a given statement or the wisdom of a given recommendation. A is incorrect because it suggests that the effort is pointless. B refers to the context and constraints that surround a communication, but doesn't specifically refer to the author's case.
