Answer:
The simile is my love is like to ice, and i to fire
B is the correct answer since it is a friend
I'd say B and D. Elementary school reports don't necessarily equate to knowledge of a subject (and research on the branches of government doesn't help you know <em>how</em> to govern), so A is out. C is nice, but popularity and charm do not a leader make, he might have ulterior motives to being as such, maybe taking advantage of the power? B and D show things he has done that would give him useful skills in the position.
To be a formal debate, the debate must include set rules and guidelines.
The teacher or the person who is in charge of the debate should make clear rules and guidelines about what is permitted and what is not in a debate if it is to be a formal one. It doesn't have to include strong opinions if it's a formal debate only - any type of a debate should have that. Personal attacks are not necessary for any debate, as is unlimited time to talk. However, rules and regulations are indeed important.
