People who have ear buds in their ears simply cannot hear danger approaching. All they hear is the pretend soundtrack of their l

ives. People walking with ear buds in cannot hear a dog dashing up behind them nor can they hear the footsteps of a thief or murderer sneaking up behind him or her either. People who drive their cars with ear buds plugged in their ears (an act that is considered a traffic violation in many states) cannot hear a child screaming or a horn blowing in warning. Cell phones are known to be a factor in many car accidents. I won’t even mention how distracting ear buds plugged into a cell phone can be for a student in a classroom setting! We basically have handed a device to students that invites them to not pay attention to the real world around them.
How could the author strengthen his argument about how ear buds are dangerous when used in a car?

A) by telling us about what kind of car he drives
B) by talking about how many car accidents cell phones have caused
C) by making a list of the fatal accidents that occurred last year
D) by adding some statistics from accident reports that involved ear buds

We can infer the boys have more knowledge than Douglass and are willing to teach him.

Frederick Douglass was born in 1818. He was an abolitionist, a writer, and a social reformer whose autobiography "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" greatly influenced the abolitionist movement in 1845.

Douglass' story shows how white slave owners perpetuate slavery by keeping their slaves in ignorance. At the time Douglass wrote, many people believed that slavery was a natural state of being.

Hence, the correct answer is 'they have more education than Douglass and are willing to teach him.'

In a small town in bear country, some citizens want the town council to require bear-proof trash cans. A citizen makes a speech
Snowcat [4.5K]
<span>Bear-proof trash cans have been shown to be effective in other towns in this state. This reasoning is VALID because it provides evidence that bear-proof trashcans are effective. 

If we want to show that we keep up with the latest methods, we need to require bear-proof trash cans. This reasoning is INVALID because it does not prove these types of cans would do anything to prevent bears from getting in them. This argument has more to do with "showing" people the town can "keep up."

If we can spend money on schools and the fire department, we can also spend it on bear-proofing. This reasoning is INVALID because, in order to spend money on something, it must be proven effective. This argument does not prove that bear-proof cans are effective; it merely says money should be spent on them because money is also spent on other things.

Last year, a tourist in town was mauled by a bear on trash day. This reasoning is VALID because there appears to be a connection between the tourist's d</span>eath and the trashcans. In this case, the bear would have known that trash day = food day, and so the bear was invading human space that day and came into contact with a tourist. With bear-proof cans, bears would no longer associate trash with food, and so these types of incidents could be prevented.
