Roberto is writing an article for his town newspaper, arguing against plans to build a new shopping center in a local meadow. Re
ad this sentence from his article: State conservation officials noted that “the loss of the open meadow will further reduce the habitat for local wildlife, which is already under pressure from new housing developments near the town forest.”
Why did Roberto include this sentence?
A.
He needed to cite a credible source for evidence to support his claim.
B.
He needed to clearly explain his position on the topic by stating a claim.
C.
He needed to demonstrate understanding by clearly describing the topic.
D.
He needed to introduce the topic of his article and give basic details about it.
He has to say that it's reducing wildlife because then it will make his argument stronger of why the shopping center shouldn't put the building in the middle of a meadow.
To me, the best answer would be C) She can read about the topic ahead of time and be prepared to share her ideas
Explanation:
This way, Sierra can grasp an opinion of her own beforehand. And when the discussion is taking place, she can keep an open ear on her peers, analyzing what she agrees and disagrees with. I hope this helps! :D
