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.

It was a cold weekend morning in November when my mom came in running into my room exclaiming “Hailey, I have some exciting news for you!” “Go away mom, it's too early for this! I yelled half asleep. “Look!” she said as she held her smartphone up with two little adorable kittens on it. Then I jumped out of my bed and my my mom and I got dressed out of our pajamas got in the car and then we started driving to the shelter.
On our way there we listened to some music and the gps too. It was a lot of stress and shock for my family and I because we had just lost our other cat G-G that my mom had for many years of her life. But along with the stress shock and fear came joy and happiness.When you're woken up with your mom telling you that you're going to adopt/own an animal you are excited for what is to come.

As we walked out of the car and into the old and rusty shelter I can hear meowing from inside and barking from next door. As we walk into the shelter I can hear a screech. “Don't let the cats out!” yelled a lady wearing a plaid. So my mom signs in and I go and sit on the couch, while two cats start climbing on my arms “Mom, look at these adorable kittens!” “Hailey, you know that we can’t afford more than one cat but you have been very responsible with your brothers and homework… so Yes!” then she walked away to go see how much it was for two cats.
The second that I heard that we were getting a cat I was super happy but then when I heard that we were getting two cats I was astonished. As w edrove back to our home I could hear them meowing the whole entire time and I felt so bad for them.
