Which claim is both arguable and defensible
NISA [10]
The answer is B, because if you were to try and see both sides of shop lifting it would still seem wrong, and you wouldn't say that finishing college was easy and that you didn't have to try and option D just doesn't really make sense. And it is true that you could think all students should be required to volunteer in their community but just as easily you could think that they shouldn't have to. Both sides have good points for this argument.
