Which strategy would be most useful in determining an appropriate topic for an argument? Question 17 options:
labwork [276]

Answer:

D.Browse through newspapers and magazines to locate current issues you feel strongly about.

Explanation:

When one is looking for a topic to argue, one is looking to discuss something in order to persuade readers to his or her point of view.  As such, the best thing to do would be to find a contentious topic.  Hot topics/issues of the day that can be found within newspapers and magazines are great places to begin.  This is so because these types of publications tend to include topics that include some type of conflict and have people take sides as conflict is what sells and gets people interested in stories.  As such it would be quite easy to find a topic that could be either argued for or against.

List the tittle,author,genre,and number of pages of the book you read?​
devlian [24]

Answer:

Hmm, this question is hard to answer considering that I don't even know what book it is asking about.

What you should write is the title and author of the book you read. This is so easy, and should be on the front cover.

The genre is the theme of the story. Some examples include but are not limited to, mystery, horror or realistic fiction. This I cannot tell you because I don't know what the book is.

The number of pages I also cannot say. That is just the number of pages that you read.

should be pretty easy.

hope this helped though

What is one way the author helps develop the central idea of the first section
Yuri [45]

Read the argument excerpt related to teen use of smartphones and answer the question that follows: People on either side of the
lord [1]

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.
