Answer 2

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.
