Read the argument excerpt related to teen use of smartphones and answer the question that follows: People on either side of the

smartphones-for-teens debate can't agree on the evidence. Sure, there's proof of cyber bullying. There's also proof of educational benefits. Yet nothing is conclusive, so no valid judgment can be made for everyone on whether smartphones should be banned from teens. Anyone supporting such a restriction is naïve and uniformed. He or she is reacting from emotion instead of using his or her brain to study all the evidence and make a decision specific to his or her own teen. The bottom line is it's up to parents to be parents. Why spend billions of dollars on trying to stop cyber bullying or explore educational apps? It's probably just another human assumption that we can control the technology we've created. Trying is a waste of time and money. Which of the following is true about this argument excerpt?

Answer:

It fails to support its claim with specific, credible evidence and uses a disrespectful tone.

Explanation:

When giving arguments in favor or against a specific subject, they must be supported by reason and logic as well as credible evidence that can be compared with reality. They also need to be coherent with the things you are stating, this has to be done in a respectful tone as you are open to the idea of others comments and counterarguments. You are supposed to show you are right with these arguments, not by insulting or despising others.

In my opinion, this excerpt fails in both. It is not respectful and it's arguments are not strong enough.

He states that there is not proof of who is right or wrong on the debate adressed, he needs to support this with evidence. Who states that?

He the concludes that "no valid judgment can be made for everyone on whether smartphones should be banned from teens." This seems as an opinion based on his own reasoning.

After this, he starts making judgments about the people supporting the restriction, calling them naïve. This is not polite or useful. As I said, this is not based on evidence, he is contradicting himself as he stated in the first lines that there was no evidence of who was rigth or wrong.

The next lines express just his opinions based on his values and thoughts, evidence to support them is never presented.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Two words using the root -gest- are gesture and digestion. The original meaning of the root as inherited from Lating was "carry" or "perform". In modern English, however, the word has a separate meaning of "a tale of adventures" or "a romance in verse" (according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary).

Explanation:

Here is a sentence with the word "gesture".

<u>Peter's gift was a very kind gesture.</u>

As for the connection of the word "gesture" with its root: the gift actually "carries" kindness or "performs" an act of kindness.

What do these lines from Antigone show about Creon's character?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

The answer is:  3 He has a patriarchal point of view.

In the excerpt from "Antigone," by Sophocles, Creon expresses that the social  system must be controlled and preserved by men. He also underestimates the authority of women and does not think women should rule. As a consequence, he suggests that society must be dominated by the power exercised by the masculine genre.
