An author claims that "Athletes caught using performance-enhancing drugs should be sentenced to prison." The author provides the

following reason as support:
In 2013, the TV show Sport-Zone surveyed 2,000 athletes. 73 percent admitted knowing a teammate who took performance-enhancing drugs. Huang Kroll, a spokesperson for the International Olympic Committee, was interviewed during the program. "Using illegal substances to gain an advantage is a huge issue," he explained. "Unless stronger laws are passed—laws that result in prison rather than suspension from competition—the problem will continue to grow."

Which choice best describes the reason the author provides?

A.It is effective. It supports the claim clearly and logically.
B.It is irrelevant. It discusses a fact that is off topic and does not support the claim.
C.It is unreliable. It does not give any details to prove that the source can be trusted.
D.It is unverified. It does not cite a source to show where the information was located.

The correct answer is A. It is effective. It supports the claim clearly and logically.

Explanation:

In argumentative text and speeches for a reason to be effective it needs to directly address the claim and besides this, explain it and prove it by using a reliable source that includes statistics, quotations, reference to other studies, among others and by following a structure that connects logically to the claim. In the case presented the claim is that "Athletes caught using performance-enhancing drugs should be sentenced to prison" and this has been supported by including a refers to a survey carried out by a the TV show Sport-zone about the athletes that use performance-enhancing rules and the sanctions this implies that includes statistics but also the words of an expert in the topic. Because of this, this reason is effective because it does not explain and supports the claim, but also it proves it in a clear and logical way and by using a reliable source.

Answer:

<h2>"Bermuda Triangle"</h2>

Bermuda triangle or Devil's triangle is situated in the North Atlantic Ocean. Some time it is also refers as Hurricane triangle as well. Bermuda triangle has a specific real phenomena which we discuss latter in the speech.  Many theories or article also purposed on the triangle, that it is fictional thing and it is not real. But it is not true... and I (the person who is giving the speech) will prove this point with some logical facts that I gathered on this topic. But firstly, have look on some general facts and figures on Bermuda triangle.

In the north Atlantic Ocean there is a region i.e. Bermuda Triangle, in which number of ships and aircraft vanished due to some mysterious phenomena. But this point of view of calling it is a mystery, rejected by reputable and more authentic sources and prove that there are many real facts underlying in this phenomena which clarify that it is real.

<h2>Valid reasons behind Bermuda triangle: </h2>
  • Compass changes: Compass issues have the main importance in Bermuda triangle phenomena. Many theories purposed that this region has many magnetic abnormalities.The world is unaware of the fact that something is really abnormal about the compass variation in such a large area formed in shape of triangle called Bermuda triangle.
  • Gulf Stream: is a large surface current flows in the Gulf of Mexico towards Florida entering onto North Atlantic. Fact is, it is a river inside an ocean with rough waves that carries away various object along them. It was reported that many aircraft which try water landing or ships with technical problems, carried away by those currents from their actual positions.
  • Harsh weather: Bermuda triangle contains harsh weather conditions, resulting in hurricanes, which were also responsible for the sinking of Francisco de Bobadilla's a Spanish navy ship. Which was the first ever reported case of Bermuda triangle in 1502. Due to these hurricanes many incident took place in the past.
  • Methane hydrates: Many facts given, like the existence of methane fields in the region on a large scale. Methane is a form of natural gas. Mud volcanoes made by methane surrounded by dense bubbly water are the main causes for the sinking of ships in that region. when the ships comes across that kind of specific region they sink very quickly.
  • Human mistake: Many disasters reported in the past only because of human rigidness, by floating their ships intentionally in to harsh weathers i.e. hurricanes.
