Question

Select the correct text in the passage

Answer 1

Answer:

The writer’s point of view is made clear in the introductory paragraph. The writer tries to convince readers to save energy and preserve energy resources. This point is evident when the writer states, “The bad news is that you, and millions of others on our planet, are draining the world of its energy resources.”

The writer uses both a logical and an emotional appeal. A logical appeal is made when the writer provides information about how Energy Star appliances can save 20 percent of the energy used by standard appliances, which results in lower power bills. The writer also makes an emotional appeal by asking readers to reduce their energy consumption to save the planet and to ensure “that future generations will enjoy the same conveniences” that people take for granted today.
