Which choice best describes the support the author provides?

It is effective support for the claim.

In 2012, the well-respected research firm Martin and Associates conducted a study on the request of animal rights activists. The published report was overwhelmingly one-sided.

Question 5 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)

(MC)

An author claims that "Zoos do more good than harm." The author provides the following as support for the claim:

I believe zoos are great because they give animals exactly what they need. I have seen caretakers feed animals and give them medicine when they are sick. I have watched zookeepers cuddle baby monkeys and place blankets over cold piglets. They train animals to do tricks, too, so that the animals have fans who love and cheer for them. I am sure this makes the animals happy.

Answer 11

lets start out slow, what do you think the answer is to the first one?

Answer 12

I think: a or b?

Answer 13

Its definitely not B

Answer 14

Ok

Answer 15

I say A then

Answer 16

And, I learned this before, quiz takers often want to trick you b y putting similar answers on a question. Since most of the answers are ineffective, it wont be A

Answer 17

Its D

Answer 18

Oh ok I get it

Answer 19

on to the 2nd one, what do you think?

Answer 20

I think #2 is: C or A?

Answer 21

Neither, it would be B, give me a moment to explain why

Answer 22

What how?

Answer 23

A claim should be a simple sentence. B leaves room to add more to it. At the end of it, it really should have a ';' with the 3 reasons stated for it to be a claim.

Answer 24

Oh so it would be B?

Answer 25

It's also different from all the other answers

Answer 26

Yep

Answer 27

Onto 3

Answer 28

I think #3 is: A

Answer 29

Correct, it's one of those questions where you go with your gut and knowledge, not cheats

Answer 30

Onto 4

Answer 31

YAY!!

Answer 32

I think #4: B or C

Answer 33

Question 4 should be either B or D, I would personally go with D.
It would be C because just like #2, there should be a ';' with the reasons after it

Answer 34

So D?

Answer 35

Nope, it would be B, I was wrong

Answer 36

oh ok

Answer 37

D is too suggestive, not demanding and simple.

Answer 38

Sorry about that

Answer 39

ONTO 5

Answer 40

#5 is: C?

Answer 41

Correct!

Answer 42

Now 6 :D

Answer 43

YAY

Answer 44

#6 is: C or B

Answer 45

I thought the same at first, but it would be C because claims should be 3rd person POV

Answer 46

ok so c?

Answer 47

Yeppers

Answer 48

now 7

Answer 49

#7: A

Answer 50

Nope B, the information is useful, but no where in the text does it prove a point

Answer 51

Oh ok

Answer 52

Now 8, what do you think?

Answer 53

#8: C or D

Answer 54

Nope, it would be B or C. I want to go with C because is says that a bit below 30% of adults don't think it's bad, but it's actually going to be B because to goes with the theme and claim.
D is too broad of an idea
So B's your answer

Answer 55

Oh ok thanks

Answer 56

9999999999999999999

Answer 57

#9: A OR C OR D

Answer 58

It wouldn't be A, because that actually helps people get a sense of what organ donations help cure
It also wouldn't be C because it would help people get an idea of how effective organ donations are and how much they're needed.

It WOULD be D because 1) there's no need for one's life risking story 2) It's unneeded information

Answer 59

OK so a

Answer 60

Remember, it's asking for INEFFECTIVE info

Answer 61

No D

Answer 62

ok

Answer 63

as I said before, it wouldn't be A because that actually helps people get a sense of what organ donations help cure

Answer 64

10: d

Answer 65

Please read the question more carefully
YES, are you reading the reasons I've given you?

Answer 66

I'm not trying to seem rude, but I'm questioning if you actually are reading what I'm typing

Answer 67

Yes I got D for #10

Answer 68

YES i AM

Answer 69

Okay then, and 10's A
it wouldn't be D because since it says the word 'should' it's open for argument

Answer 70

But I still dont get it

Answer 71

I am still here dont worry

Answer 72

the word 'should' allows people to refute. If the sentence said 'Public school are beginning to enforce their students to wear uniforms' There's no room for argument since it's structured as a fact, not an opinionated fact

Answer 73

Ohhhhh, I get it now

Answer 74

Any more questions?

Answer 75

i got an 80% and my teacher wants me to get 100%% lol thanks

Answer 76

B is not the answer

Answer 82

Oh ok and the last one is
