The answer for this question is actually quite varied. Our surroundings affect us very greatly. For example: If we are born in West Virginia we will have the accent that will identify us from other U.S citizens and we will also have certain habits that are unusual to someone who lives in the spark of Miami. Also, how we are raised has an immense impact in our lives. Nowadays, it is seen well to smoke marihuana, take drugs to relieve stress and get drunk. Such things are normal. But, looking back one century ago, the person who did those things was unwanted, a rebel, and therefore banned from society. No one would associate with such people because they were of bad influence. However, today hanging out with such people is considered the norm because norms and values have changed through the time.
Also, views have changed. Not long ago people believed in God, that he was the creator of all things. But, now in schools teachers are teaching the theory of evolution. A theory that carries no facts or scientific explanations whatsoever, its only based on thoughts and theories that have never been proved. Firstly, the theory is based on that out of inanimate matter came out life, but, the principle of life is that everything came out of something pre-existent; so how did we come to be? Truly, we human beings were not formed out of pure casualty, out of nothing, something alive must have created us. The magazine "The origin of life: Five questions worth asking" states: "All scientific evidence to date indicates that life can come only by pre-existing life." How we are raised hun, the people we interact with, the things people teach us mold our minds. But, its takes us to discover the truth of things of who we are and what we want.
Answer:
C. Rabies is a fatal disease that can spread from dogs to humans.
Explanation:
Based on the fact that Rhonda's notes contain a counterclaim, we can conclude that she is probably writing an argumentative essay. An argumentative essay is a type of essay that presents arguments about both sides of a certain issue. Its author is making a claim and addresses a counterclaim - a claim someone else may use to rebut theirs. Rhonda is probably writing about how good pets are for people. However, someone may disagree with this and say that pets can actually harm the health of their owners.
Just like Rhonda, they would need to provide evidence that supports their claim. Out of the statements you were given, only statement C would be good evidence. Rabies is a real danger (although it can be prevented by vaccination). The rest of the statements don't show that pets are bad.
This is why option C is the correct one.
