Answer:
This is a declarative sentence.
Explanation:
Declarative sentences are those that aim to pass on information, expose something that has happened or is happening. This sentence can also be considered a comparative sentence, as it compares the emotion expected to be felt by the narrator and the emotion that the narrator actually felt in relation to the joke in the classroom.
The sentence also has a dependent clause "what was meant to be" that needs a complement to make sense and get a message across. This complement is the clause that is established immediately afterwards, ending the sentence.
The girl who is walking to the house wears the hood.
Answer:
<u>Claim:</u> the voting age should be lowered to 16 years old.
<u>Opposing claim:</u> some people are against it because they believe that 16 years olds can not make informed decisions and are going to vote according to whim or how their parents tell them to vote.
<u>Counterclaim:</u> lowering the voting age is more likely to produce a better-informed body of voters since school can help them with courses for such thing.
Explanation:
The claim in this text is that the voting age should be lowered since young people deserve to have a say in the direction of the country. Some of the reasons supporting this claim are that 16-year-olds are mature enough for this decision in contrast with teenagers of previous generations as shown in studies. Also, they are more informed and competent than adults.
The opposing claim states that 16 years olds are not well informed, and they will vote according to what their parents tell them to vote or without consciousness. There are no investigations in the article that support the opposing claim.
The counterclaim says that as 16-year-olds are still in school, the education system can develop instruction courses to teach them about the candidates. As they have the right to vote, students will be motivated to learn about this topic.
