The correct answer is C. Including words that address logic and reason

Explanation:

The purpose of an argument is to prove as valid a specific point of view usually by including reasons, evidence, examples, based on facts and logic. In the case of the excerpt presented, the author argues against censorship by explaining the importance of reading and highlighting how books are necessary for the spirit. Additionally, in this argument, the author provides mainly evidence based on emotions such as "Books nourish the spirit" or "we become freer and freer". In this context, one way to make the excerpt more argumentative is to introduce words or statements that are based on logic and reason because by introducing this type of objective evidence the author can better prove the importance of preventing censorship, and therefore the argument will be strengthened.

Answer and Explanation:

<u>This question refers to the poem "Ballad of Birmingham", by Dudley Randall. In the poem, a child is asking her mother if she can march the streets of Birmingham with other kids, protesting for equality and civil rights. However, the mother will not let her go. She is afraid the police will end up resorting to violence against the crowd, hurting her daughter:</u>

"No, baby, no, you may not go

For the dogs are fierce and wild.

And clubs and hoses, guns and jails,

Aren't good for a little child."

"No, baby, no, you may not go

For I fear those guns will fire."

Unfortunately, at the end of the poem, the child ends up getting killed at the church, a place her mother considered safe.

Answer:

B. He criticizes American fashions by negatively comparing them with older English styles.

Explanation:

This question refers to the article "The inglish renaissance art" written by Oscar Wilde, where the author makes a specific criticism about the female fashion pattern used by American women. Wilde did not sympathize with the American clothing style and disparaged the clothing of these women by comparing them with the clothing styles used in Europe, which he finds most beautiful, elegant, classy and sophisticated, while American dresses lacked any of these characteristics.
