Thomas is writing an essay about the benefits of using e-book readers. Which statement could he use to address the counterclaim
that paper books cannot be replaced? A.
E-book readers can store several books so you can read multiple books at the same time.
B.
E-book readers are often quite expensive, but they are worth buying because they have so many benefits.
C.
Technology has made it possible to have access to a large number of e-books.
D.
Reading on a screen may be more harmful to your eyes than reading on paper.
Because it gives a better statement in favor of the fact that the books cannot be replaced for the opposing view in the counterclaim, the others only give statements in favor of the e-books.
I think the author established anger as the mood in the excerpt. It is noticeable how the character is furious (for whatever reason) and shows her emotions by tearing that thin handkerchief into ribbons.
