These families rely on fast food for their fast and frugal meals. This is just unfair. Those in favor of the law hope that it encourages healthier choices. This is short sighted. The law is taking away an unhealthy option. It is not the same as providing a healthy option. There will not be a rise in healthy eating. There will be a rise in families struggling to eat.

Feedback:Correct answer Question 6 of 1010.0 Points Read the following arguments and answer the question that follows: Charlotte: The worst holiday of all time is Groundhog Day. Trusting a weather report from a glorified rat is lunacy. Setting a day aside to celebrate make believe is a ridiculous example to set for our children. When we promote clearly illogical beliefs, how can we expect children to make logical choices in the future? Sasha: Groundhog Day is a fantastic holiday. Some people say that a groundhog can't predict the weather, and I for one agree. However the point of the holiday is not to find out if winter is going to end early. The point is to have a community of people come together and enjoy each other's company. It could be to see if a groundhog sees its shadow, or any other reason. It is about coming together, dancing, laughing, and having fun. Which argument has a counter argument? A. Only Sasha B. Neither Sash nor Charlotte C. Both Sasha and Charlotte D.

Research shows the stretches you do with yoga, not just makes you stronger, but it works the muscles in such a way that they will be healthier and recover faster when you do a weight training routine. If you only do weightlifting you are not working all the ways you need to work your body. Try adding yoga to your routine. What would be the best opening sentence that clearly states the position in this argument? A. The best way to build muscles is through weightlifting. B. Getting into shape is a difficult process. C. Weightlifting is not enough to get your body into shape. D. If you want to get into better shape, consider doing yoga. Feedback:Correct answer Question 8 of 1010.0 Points Read the following arguments and answer the question that follows: Mark: We need to protect Halloween. Halloween is a time for trick-or-treating, a tradition dating back to the Middle Ages. Today, however, trick-or-treating is being cancelled in some towns. There are people who believe that there are some homes that mean to hurt trick-or-treaters with unsafe candy. While there maybe the occasional guilty party, the news on these incidents has been greatly exaggerated. Additionally the police have put in to place a free process for checking candy. Cancelling trick-or-treating in response to a possible threat that we are prepared for sends the wrong message. Greg: Is trick-or- treating worth getting hurt over? It is odd to think that we spend so much time telling children not to take candy from strangers, but then one day a year we tell them the opposite. Now, it is understandable that we have so many precautions in place, so it may seem like cancelling trick-or-treating is an overreaction. However, no system is perfect. Even if one child gets hurt, that is too many. So why take that risk for a fun-sized piece of chocolate? Which argument uses alliteration? A. Both Mark and Greg B. Neither Mark nor Greg C.

Of course you would. However, that is exactly what school uniforms would do, but we continue to refuse to instate them. Studies have shown that schools that put a uniform policy in place see a 25% increase in overall test grades. While uniforms may be unpopular, results are more important. Granted some say that uniforms take away students' individuality. While I understand that argument, students are far more than the clothing they wear. They will be able to express themselves in other ways like writing, hair style, and art. The trade-off for uniforms is well worth it. Alice: Please don't make us wear those awful uniforms. School uniforms are ugly, uncomfortable and prevent students from being individuals. If you support these uniforms then you want to turn the school into a monotone gray haze. Uniforms are neither needed nor necessary. They offer no benefits and are just a cruel punishment for students that have done nothing wrong. Vote no on uniforms! Which of the following is an example of an imperative statement? A. They offer no benefits and are just a cruel punishment for students that have done nothing wrong. B.
