Does "expressive" in the above refer to "eloquent" or "persuasive?" If neither, what does it mean? Thanks.

"expressive" words are words that are 'full of expression.'
In this case, expression means showing feelings or to make known thoughts.
For example:
His little twinkling eyes . . .
The dancer's fluid movements . .
Bitter-cold, howling wind . . .
Yes, expressive words can be eloquent or persuasive.
