The excerpt of this question is missing; here is the missing excerpt:
Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo and study the map.
[This] is an island lying about 1,000 miles south of Socotra. The people are Saracens who worship Mahomet. They have four sheikhs—that is to say, four elders—who exercise authority over the whole island. You must know that this island is one of the biggest and best in the whole world. It is said to measure about 4,000 miles in circumference. The people live by trade and industry. More elephants are bred here than in any other province; and I assure you that not so many elephant tusks are sold in all the rest of the world put together as in this island and that of Zanzibar.
The correct answer to this question is C. Madagascar
Explanation:
In the excerpt, the narrator refers to an island located "about 1,000 miles south of Socotra". About the island, the narrator describes some geographical features of it, as well as, features of its people. This includes the detail "More elephants are bred here than in any other province" that shows the number of elephants bred in this island is higher than in any other region.
Now, on the map, it can be deduced the island the author describes is Madagascar (Location C) because this is the only island located to the South of Socotra (Location A), which coincides with the description in the excerpt.
C) A paragraph break should come after the word asked is the correct answer.
Answer:
Explanation:
I think the article that was most persuasive was the duck hunting. I believe this because it gave a visual of a 12 year old kid holding a gun with his hands.
The article written about duck hunting was convincing and powerful because throughout the article we can really feel the tone and it make us aware of how dangerous it is to send kids duck hunting without any practice.
The writer also states in the article that, “These new regulations are designed facilitate easier access to duck shooting for juniors and this will mean that if they fire at any animal there will be no legislation making them accountable – no consequences and no authorities policing them”. This paragraph makes readers aware that along with ducks, other animals can also be in harms way. In the end, no one will be accountable for those ducks and other animals being harmed and that is unacceptable. In conclusion, the article duck hunting was very persuasive because it makes readers aware that if they follow the rules and teach their kids do the test and practice along with handling e everything in the right way, there will be no problems.

In the very, very simplest terms, judging the validity of an argument starts centers around this process:
1) Identify the rhetoric (Lines of Argument) from the actual, formal reasons. Separate the persuasive language from the actual claims to truth and fact.
2) Analyze those reasons (claims to truth and fact) by identifying their logic (often in the Implicit Reasons) and evidence.
3) Test and evaluate the logic and evidence; identify logical errors and ask whether the evidence can and has been tested and objectively, repeatedly, factually verified.
