Question

Martin is assigned an argumentative essay. The prompt says, "Write an argumentative essay that takes a position on whether students should have to pass a test to graduate from high school." Martin develops this claim: "If students have passed all their classes and tests in those classes, it is not fair to make them also pass a test to graduate from high school." Which answer choice best describes Martin’s claim? Martin’s claim does not take a position. Martin’s claim is based more on emotion than reasoning. Martin’s claim does not respond to the prompt. Martin’s claim is good because it appropriately responds to the prompt

Answer 1

Answer: Martin’s claim is good because it appropriately responds to the prompt.

Explanation:

Since Martins claim is that "If students have passed all their classes and tests in those classes, it is not fair to make them also pass a test to graduate from high school.", then we can infer that his claim is good because it appropriately responds to the prompt.

Since the prompt is on whether students should have to pass a test to graduate from high school and Martins is against students passing a test again after passing their classes and tests, then his claim is good as it supports his stance on the subject matter.
