If you already know what you want as a topic for an argumentative essay, then research why people are for it/them, and why they are not. You can also put in your view of it and if you agree with the ones who are for it/them OR with the ones who are not. Just remember to give the site their credit as well.

Answer: Choice C (Judicious)
Explanation: Judicious means to have, show, or do something with good judgment or sense. This doesn't make sense given the context that Howard forgot to pay his bill. Not paying his bill is something that is not done with good judgment. Therefore this definition would not be appropriate.
Hope this helps and makes sense.
Answer:
After doing a close reading, you should analyze the figurative language in a text for the following reason:
b. to reveal hidden meanings.
Explanation:
If a reader relies only on what is denotative, that is, on what is on the surface, he or she will certainly be missing out on a lot of messages that can only be perceived and understood with an open mind and thorough eyes which also attain to what is connotative, that is, to what is between the lines and goes way beyond the core meaning of words.
In Voltaire's "Candide", the main character starts to lead a farmer's life and his friend Pangloss suggests they are living in the best of possible worlds, to which Candide responds with the classic line:
“That is very well put . . . but we must cultivate our garden.”
The author is certainly not literally talking about a garden; he is rather symbolically referring to something that is much more profound and meaningful and lies within the very essence of mankind. Therefore, there is indeed a hidden meaning in those words, and it must be analyzed and interpreted so the reader can better profit from the text.
