I metran across the verb "sway" a few timelittle while ago and I was questioning myselfwondering about its usage. See:

They were seduced by the low cost of the house.

And

They were swayed by the low cost of the house.

Both are correct, right? But in thatthis context, which one fits better? Perhaps botheither? If so, then what's the difference then? I understand its meaning, in this specific case, as something similar to "influence" – am I wrong to think this way?

Now, see the following scenario:

I was seduced by her lips.

And

I was swayed by her lips.

In this case, seduceddo "seduced" and swayed"swayed" express the same thing?

"They were seduced" vs. "They were swayed"

I met the verb "sway" a few time ago and I was questioning myself its usage. See:

They were seduced by the low cost of the house.

And

They were swayed by the low cost of the house.

Both are correct, right? But in that context, which one fits better? Perhaps both? If so, what's the difference then? I understand its meaning, in this specific case, as something similar to "influence" – am I wrong to think this way?

In this case, seduced and swayed express the same thing?
