(ST): Argumentative Writing
Even children can be harmed by TV shows and movies that make life
seem unrealistically perfect. In one survey, published by Parents Today,
children were asked about their own lives both before and after
watching three episodes of Ronaldi, a show featuring an 11-year old
boy who flies his own helicopter to school and lives in a bedroom that
is also a skateboard park. Although they reported that they enjoyed the
show, the children, ages 8-13, ranked their own lives as less cool, fun,
and interesting after watching the episodes. On the other hand,
children who watched shows without unrealistically perfect characters
- including T and the Rexes, a cartoon series about dinosaurs, and
Littleton Street, a realistic program about a group of neighborhood
friends - did not report any decrease in happiness with their own lives.
Where in an argumentative essay would this excerpt most likely belong?

Answer:

In an argumentative essay, this excerpt would most likely belong:

D. in the middle of the essay, because it is a body paragraph.

Explanation:

The very beginning of the excerpt shows that it is explaining and adding to something that was already said earlier: "Even children can be harmed by TV shows and movies . . ." This paragraph certainly follows the claim that TV shows and movies have the power to harm people. It is adding to that claim by offering evidence that those shows and movies may even harm children. Thus, we can see it is a body paragraph, which makes option D the best choice.

A hook, which is an opening statement, would most likely be the very first sentence of the whole text, so we can eliminate option A.

The paragraph is certainly not a conclusion since it is not restating the main idea in fewer words, but is presenting new evidence instead. Letter B is also wrong.

Letter C is incorrect for two reasons: this paragraph is not a claim and, even if it were, claims do not appear at the end of the essay.

Answer:

D

Which two sentences support Abraham Lincolns claim that his presidency was not a threat to the Southern states?

Read the passage from chapter 14 of The Prince.

A prince ought to have no other aim or thought, nor select anything else for his study, than war and its rules and discipline; for this is the sole art that belongs to him who rules, and it is of such force that it not only upholds those who are born princes, but it often enables men to rise from a private station to that rank.

And, on the contrary, it is seen that when princes have thought more of ease than of arms they have lost their states. And the first cause of your losing it is to neglect this art; and what enables you to acquire a state is to be master of the art. Francesco Sforza, through being martial, from a private person became Duke of Milan; and the sons, through avoiding the hardships and troubles of arms, from dukes became private persons. For among other evils which being unarmed brings you, it causes you to be despised, and this is one of those ignominies against which a prince ought to guard himself, as is shown later on.

What type of evidence does Machiavelli use to support his claim that a prince should have no aim other than war and its rules and discipline?

logical evidence
anecdotal evidence
empirical evidence
both logical and anecdotal evidence

Read the excerpt from “The Red-Headed League.”

“I went round to the offices, but no one had ever heard of the Red-Headed League or Mr. Duncan Ross. I did not wish to lose such a place without a struggle, and so,” concluded Jabez Wilson, “as I had heard that you give advice to poor folk who need it, I came right away to you.”

“And you did very wisely,” said Holmes. “Your case is remarkable. I shall be happy to look into it. From what you have told me, I think graver problems hang from it than might at first sight appear. Tell me, what is he like, this assistant of yours who first called your attention to the advertisement, this Vincent Spaulding?”

“Small, stout-built, very quick in his ways, no hair on his face, around thirty years old. Has a white splash of acid on his forehead.”

Holmes sat up in his chair. “I thought as much,” said he. “Have you ever observed that his ears are pierced for earrings?”

“Yes, sir. He told me that a gypsy had done it for him when he was a lad.”

“Hum!” said Holmes, sinking back, deep in thought. “And he has cared well for your business while you were away?”

Question 1
Part A

Which conclusion can be drawn, based on the details in the excerpt?


Mr. Wilson relies on others to solve his problems.

Question 2
Part B

“’I went round to the offices, but no one had ever heard of the Red-Headed League or Mr. Duncan Ross.’”

“From what you have told me, I think graver problems hang from it than might at first sight appear.’”
