its not c

Answer 11

The sentence that states the author's claim is " to improve our economy it is imperative that the United States push its citizens to become more literate". This sentence says that it is mandatory, not optional to stimulate North American citizens to study more through reading, getting to know more about rights and duties related to a citizen. By doing so, people become more aware of their own role in socienty, will make better workers, produce more and better and help the country's development, both politicaly and economically but also socially

Answer 12

it's not c because it's more of an opinion and doesn't support the actual claim?

yes its more of an opinion than a fact

Answer 14

OK I guess my two option left are A and B but I'm still a little confused. So would A support the claim if it doesn't state the sources?

Answer 15

@Hoodmemes you cant support a claim if you don't state its sources right?

Answer 18

i mean i know the answer but I'm trying to make it where you figure it out so you can learn so if you can use D or C and you're two options are A B and A cant be used because you cant support a claim if you didn't state the sources so that leaves you with b

lmao,Actually we explained to u many times the information u needed to look at and why,the answer u needed to look for was the authors CLAIM which u never understood the hint of we told u 10+ times.So lets not pin the blame on the ppl trying to help u bc we all know the only reason he or she told u the answer is bc u were to slow to understand the explinations being given out.

Answer 25

@Hoodmemes
your response was really uncalled for. I knew what the author's claim was before I posted. I was just having problems with the support question. I never blamed anyone for anything. and I'm sorry that it takes me a little longer to process information.

I say it was,My response explained why he or she gave u the answer and why they did

Answer 27

so who was I pinning the blame on and for what reasons? I was agreeing with @cpl106 where they wanted me to figure it out on my own and was making sure I understood why that's all I was blaming anyone for anything

Answer 28

U ovi couldnt find i out on your own due to u just bring up the answer option C multi times.

Answer 29

What? I don't understand maybe I'm not using this correctly. Cause I only said option C one time and when they said rethink it I did and gave a reason why it wasn't option C. I moved on to rule out option A. So If it came up like said option C several times I don't know why
