Question

Down with the Billboards

Answer 1

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

An argumentative claim can be defined as an argument that is supported by claims. An argumentative claim is debatable, clear, and focussed. There are three types of claims: facts claim, value claim, and policy claim.

The claim used in the given scenario is a value claim. A value claim argues that something is either good or bad. In doing so, it compares and evaluates the situation. In value claim, the author often uses an appeal to emotion (or pathos) than mere facts.

The author in the given argument is stating that some billboards are bad for young children and are advertised everywhere in Blue Creek. Thus the author is talking about values; what should be valued or not.

Therefore, option D is correct.
