State highway officers

Gasoline manufacturers

Answer 2

@Cydney_Morgan @camerondoherty @Whitemonsterbunny17 @Watermelanie @M.D.Saxon @makaylabeechin726 @kirbykirby @gabgurl @chrisisdope1

Answer 3

i would say c or d

Answer 4

maybe c but it could be d i am not sure.

Answer 5

I don't see why state highway officers would care, so I'd eliminate C. I don't think it's gasoline manufacturers because why would you have to convince them in the first place. I think it'd be B because the tractor trailer drivers have to drive/use gas.

Answer 6

besides I think I answered this along time ago and gasoline manufacturers was incorrect

Answer 7

but Gasoline manufactures make their money out of gasoline so they wouldnt want the money to stop.. @CUTIEGIRL01

Answer 8

@jgirl128 that's what i thought:)

Answer 9

Parents should allow teens to own smartphones. To not do so is just dumb in this day and age. Edudemic.com reported in 2012 that smartphone ownership was rising. Dr. Meryl Ain notes that nearly 8 out of 10 teens own a cell phone and 37 percent own a smartphone. More than 70 percent of students who own one use apps for learning and studying. Students without such a device and tools are at a disadvantage compared to their peers. Their parents obviously don't truly care about their education.

Which of the following is true about this argument excerpt?

It is respectful in tone to the audience and supports its claim with specific, credible evidence.

It contains specific, credible evidence but uses a disrespectful tone that should be revised.

It fails to support its claim with specific, credible evidence and uses a disrespectful tone.

It uses a respectful tone but needs specific, credible evidence to support the claim.

Answer 11

I just don't know why'd someone have to convince gasoline manufacturers, like who cares what they think?

Answer 12

yup, and could you help me with this one?^^

Answer 13

but know that i think about it i think it would be b

Answer 14

lol @CUTIEGIRL01

Answer 15

I know really think the tone is disrespectful, except for that last part "their parents obviously don't truly care about their education" is kinda rude but overall I think it's pretty respectful. so I think B and C can be eliminated

Answer 16

I think it's A

Answer 17

what do you think?

Answer 18

I don't* not know, oops

Answer 19

i say a

Answer 20

I don't think it's A, bc that last part isn't formal, because most parents want the best for their children.

Answer 21

then maybe it's B

Answer 22

because it contains good, credible evidence but you're right, that last part seems a bit rude

Answer 23

I think it's C.. Because through out it says things in a rude tone, and it makes you feel like the person doesnt really care.... and it does have good credible evidence...

Answer 24

B*

Answer 25

if that is what you think then go for it you could be right but maybe you are not right

Answer 26

I agree :)

Answer 27

Answer 28

Smartphone ownership among teens is certainly on the rise. Yet there is reason for caution. Teens are showing signs of smartphone addiction. A survey by TextPlus found that half of teens "couldn't live without their mobile devices for a week, while 36 percent said they weren't able to go 10 minutes without checking their phones." All this time on the devices creates more chances for problems. Smartphones and social media have been linked to serious cases of cyber bullying. Some students have been hurt or worse. A school superintendent in California, J. Thomas Morton, sent a letter to parents. He asked them to monitor their teens' use of all electronic devices, as cyber bullying incidents are on the rise.

Which of the following is true about this argument excerpt?

It is respectful in tone to the audience and supports its claim with specific, credible evidence.

It contains specific, credible evidence but uses a disrespectful tone that should be edited.

It fails to support its claim with specific, credible evidence and uses a disrespectful tone.

It uses a respectful tone but needs specific, credible evidence to support the claim.

Answer 31

with victoria but what you said is true, that's the case with a lot of these questions :)

Answer 32

i think it is A, because it has A LOT of evidence, and it has a good claim that is really really supported.

Answer 33

and yea, what she did say was true:)

Answer 34

I'm not sure because while there's a lot of evidence, I don't know how credible textplus is, but I think A could be it :) what do you think @CUTIEGIRL01

Answer 35

:)

Answer 36

I think she went offline :/

Answer 37

i'm not sure if she's here:( lol so i think A's the correct answer

Answer 38

they want to take the soda machines out so wouldnt doctors be it bc they would say it wasnt healthy and so would parents..aand teachers too, bc it could make students excited, and students wouldnt want the machine out

Answer 44

Answer 45

@jgirl128

Answer 55

Which of the following statements is the most respectful and credible in supporting teen ownership and use of smartphones?

After sorting through the evidence on both sides, I believe that the benefits of smartphones for teens outweigh the potential consequences.

It is obvious once a person examines the arguments on each side that teens ought to be able to own and use smartphones for education.

News and information outlets such as Onlinecolleges.net report that 47 percent of students have used a mobile app for learning.

Edudemic.com published an article noting that even basic apps on smartphones, like calculators and calendars, aid studying.
