Question

1. Drag the central argument Paine presents and its two claims to complete the chart. Argument Claims America may have flourished more had it not been under the power of any European country. America may have flourished under Britain in the past, but there is no guarantee that it will continue to flourish in the future. America will continue to flourish as long as the essential food products it sells are bought and eaten in Europe. The American colonies will no longer flourish when Britain makes war against them. Britain's king has shown himself to be prejudiced against the colonies, rather than wanting them to flourish. 2.Select the sentence in this passage that can be classified as a false statement. Although few humans per year are attacked by polar bears, any individual attack can be terrifying and even fatal. The warming of Arctic regions has allowed the intrusion of humans into the polar bears’ habitat, increasing the danger of harmful contacts. Remaining alert and using precautions can help humans avoid a negative encounter with a polar bear. Traveling together and staying close to the group can help humans avoid bear attacks. Certain weapons, including nonlethal ones such as pepper spray, are effective against polar bears. Once a bear has decided to attack, however, nothing can be done. 3.Select the sentence in this passage that demonstrates the fallacy of making an extreme either-or claim. The Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the United States. More than 600,000 soldiers lost their lives. The fighting took place in many different cities and throughout the countryside. The wounded often suffered acute pain while in the field hospitals. They all should have asked for better care. William Hammond, the surgeon general of the Union army, created a new system of sanitary field care. If people do not accept Hammond as the most important person from the Civil War, they have no understanding of the war.

Answer 2

For starters I'd like to start by saying, I've already taken the test, and the first option is a different question to the one asked, so if you do have the question the user asked previously, please look at the persons answer above me.

The first option;

Read the passage.

In his pamphlet Common Sense, published in January, 1776, Thomas Paine used the everyday language of the colonists to express his feelings about Great Britain.

excerpt from Common Sense by Thomas Paine

As to government matters, it is not in the powers of Britain to do this continent justice: The business of it will soon be too weighty, and intricate, to be managed with any tolerable degree of convenience, by a power so distant from us, and so very ignorant of us; for if they cannot conquer us, they cannot govern us. To be always running three or four thousand miles with a tale or a petition, waiting four or five months for an answer, which when obtained requires five or six more to explain it in, will in a few years be looked upon as folly and childishness—there was a time when it was proper, and there is a proper time for it to cease.

Drag the central argument Paine presents and its two claims to complete the chart.

The correct answer was

1. Argument: "Britain is unable to properly govern America."

2. Claims: "The distance from England to America is too far for England to properly govern America." & "The time it takes to travel between the two countries makes governing and communication too difficult to be effective."

The second option;

Select the sentence in this passage that can be classified as a false statement.

Although few humans per year are attacked by polar bears, any individual attack can be terrifying and even fatal. The warming of Arctic regions has allowed the intrusion of humans into the polar bears’ habitat, increasing the danger of harmful contacts. Remaining alert and using precautions can help humans avoid a negative encounter with a polar bear. Traveling together and staying close to the group can help humans avoid bear attacks. Certain weapons, including nonlethal ones such as pepper spray, are effective against polar bears. Once a bear has decided to attack, however, nothing can be done.

The correct answer was "Once a bear has decided to attack, however, nothing can be done. "

For the third option;
