Clarification:
I found the complete instructions for the exercise online:
On the night of December 12th, Ms. Shaina Graves slipped on the ice after leaving her son's hockey game at the Fordham Center. The fall resulted in a broken wrist, which has caused Ms. Graves pain and suffering in addition to medical bills totaling $1,085. The Fordham Center should be held responsible for her injury. A spokesperson for the Fordham Center says that the parking lot was salted at 2:00 that afternoon and they could not have predicted the cold temperatures that night. However, weather reports did war of freezing temperatures, and other businesses report salting again in the evening.
How does the author respond to the counterclaim?
A. By illustrating how the injury affected Ms. Graves's ability to work
B. By explaining how salt prevents water from freezing on sidewalks
and parking lots
C. By suggesting that Ms. Graves's injury was caused by slipping on
the ice
D. By showing that other businesses took precautions against
freezing temperatures
Answer:
D. By showing that other businesses took precautions against
freezing temperatures
Explanation:
This is a <u>reading comprehension</u> activity. To complete this exercise, you have to read the text given and then choose the correct option. In this case, it is "D" because Fordham Center's excuse is that they did not know it was going to be freezing in the evening, however, other businesses knew and took precautions.
