Jessa is writing a persuasive essay to be read out loud in front of her entire class. She will discuss the benefits of taking public transportation. Here is some of the evidence she has gathered:

My dad says that public transportation is the fastest way to get downtown during rush hour.
Public transportation is expensive, but so is keeping a car on the road.
It is not safe to drive a car these days with so many crazy drivers on the road downtown during rush hour.
According to researchers, public transportation is beneficial to the environment, because it helps to decrease carbon dioxide emissions and conserves fossil fuels.

She wants to present a solid argument with good evidence. Based on what you've learned about evaluating evidence, which of the above should Jessa include in her essay?

A.
statements 1 and 2
B.
statements 1 and 4
C.
statements 2 and 3
D.
statements 2 and 4

Answer:

1 and 4

Explanation:

speed and the effect on the environment are pretty important factors. statements 2 isnt helpful because its as expensive as having your own car. 3 also because everything might have crazy drivers. 1 and 4 are solid arguments to use public transport

Answer:

Statements 2 and 4

Explanation:

Statements 2 and 4 provide more fact than opinion. Vs statement 1 and 3 which have more opinions and barely any fact. An argumentative essay has to be made of facts, not opinions. And if you have opinions you need to back it up with facts but you can not use I, my, they, etc.

Sorry I know that's a lot but those are just some pointers for any future questions you might have on this..

Anyways, hope this helps!
