Determine the nature of the following definition : "Abortion" means the ruthless murdering of innocent beings.
Answer: B
The definition of abortion as the ruthless murdering of innocent beings is a persuasive definition. It uses words with a strong emotional charge, ruthless, murdering and innocent, to move the hearer to a particular attitude, and it does not simply report the meaning of the word. A lexical definition reports the standard usage in a dictionary, a stipulative definition assigns a new meaning to a term for a purpose, and a theoretical definition gives a scientific or theoretical account of the thing. The answer is persuasive.
