1 hope: To "trust" is to have confidence in someone or something. The verb is often used idiomatically to express a sense of expectation or belief. When Bruno says "I trust that you have put together some compelling arguments", he is saying that he hopes, expects or imagines that Philip and Susie developed some compelling arguments. Though "hope" and "trust" aren't truly synonymous with each other, replacing "trust" with "hope" in this sentence expresses the same meaning.
1 think: "Think" cannot replace "trust" in this sentence. If Bruno said "I think you have both put together some compelling arguments", he would be stating his opinion, however the verb "trust" indicates that Bruno expects that Philip and Susie have come up with compelling arguments. Though the difference between these two verbs is subtle, there is a significant difference between the two terms in this context.
1 doubt: "Doubt" cannot replace "trust" in this sentence. If Bruno "doubts" that Susie and Philip have come up with compelling arguments, than he doesn't expect them to have done so. Bruno's sentence expresses the opposite idea: that he expects that Susie and Philip have developed compelling arguments. To "doubt" is to be skeptical or undecided about something.
1 fear: "Fear" cannot replace "trust" in this sentence. If Bruno "fears" that Susie and Philip have put together some compelling arguments, than he is "scared" or worried that they have done this. Bruno's sentence expresses the opposite idea: that he expects that Susie and Philip have developed compelling arguments. To "fear" is to be scared or afraid.
2 persuasive: A "compelling" argument "motivates" or forces or drives someone. The verb "to compel" means to drive to action. For example: the carrot compelled the mule to move forward. As an adjective, "compelling" refers to anything that exerts pressure or force. Bruno hopes that Susie and Philip have developed arguments which are "compelling", which will motivate him to make a decision. "Persuasive" might replace the term "compelling" in this sentence.
2 concise: A "concise" argument is short and succinct. Bruno is not referring to the length or clarity of the argument in this sentence, but to how persuasive or convincing they are.
2 clear: A "clear" argument is straightforward and easy to understand. Bruno is not referring to the clarity of the arguments in this sentence, but to how persuasive or convincing they are.
2 well-researched: A "well-researched" argument has been well studied. Bruno is not referring to this when he talks about "compelling" arguments.
