Answer:

The persuasive writing style.

Explanation:

Which writing style problem is most apparent (obvious) in Statement 1?

- Take a look at Statement 1:

"Please come to the meeting with some out-of-the-box ideas that really push the envelope"

- Recall the types of writing style:

1. Expository  2. Descriptive  3. Persuasive  4. Narrative

ANSWER:

The whole question is a note (probably from the head of sales team) to members of the sales team in an organization. The writer is exposing them to the purpose of the meeting or topics of discussion for the meeting (expository writing).

The writer is also persuading the team members to brainstorm before coming for the meeting; so as to make important contributions.

In Statement 1, the persuasion of the writer seems more like coercion. The writer is persuasive but stern about the level or quality of ideas he wants to get at the meeting.

The writing style problem that is most apparent in Statement 1 hence, is the persuasive writing style.
