Question

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?

Answer 1

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