Question

I will fan and medal anyone who helps me!!!
One of the elements an argument begins with is

A. strong evidence
B. an interesting interpretation
C. a well-thought-out claim
D. passionate emotion

Answer 1

What do you think it is?

Answer 2

I am tending towards (A). My rationale is that wouldn't you need strong evidence to support your claim? Isn't the evidence what you are actually thinking out in order to make a claim, or argument?

Answer 3

I tried that the first go round and it was incorrect, I thought the same thing :( @dopeness_

Answer 4

In a speech delivered to parents on the launch anniversary of the "Let's Move" program, Michelle Obama made this claim:

"So we're making some real progress here. We're gaining momentum. But as far as we've come, when nearly one in three kids in this country is still overweight or obese, then we've still got a long way to go."

Which of these statements shows an acknowledgement of a counterclaim to her position?

"All of us desperately want to keep our kids healthy. But often, we just don't know how. Kids don't come with an instruction manual. And while we all get plenty of advice to make sure our kids eat well and stay active, what does that really mean?"
"And through Let's Move Cities and Towns, 500 mayors have committed to tackling obesity in their communities. They're building bike paths, they're planting gardens, they're starting youth sports leagues, and so much more."
"And today, we're seeing better, clearer labels on beverage cans and many other products in our grocery stores. You asked for better food in your kids' schools—the kind of balanced meals you're trying to make at home."
"I didn't know a single child in my neighborhood who was allowed to eat whatever they wanted whenever they wanted. If you wanted a snack, you'd have to ask permission, and whatever you got was limited."

I am also confused on this one. I am thinking that it would be A, but I would like a second opinion.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Is this English? lol Because that would be the answer, but if they're looking for a more different approach, then it would be C. a well-thought-out claim or D. passionate emotion

Answer 8

An 'argument' is a set of claims, one of which is meant to be supported by the others. So it would be C... I'm leaning on that.

Answer 9

Yes it's English, I think C would make the most sense if we take A away

Answer 10

Yeah, I agree. ^~^

Answer 11

What do you think about the second one?

Answer 12

I need to read it. ._. .-.
