According to Stevenson, people who focus on their work too much have no "curiosity" for life. This is an unfair assessment of the hard workers in our society. Surely Stevenson can appreciate that these people likely have great curiosity for their profession that encourages them to work as hard as they do.

Read the following student perspective and then choose your answer.

According to Campbell's article, a growing America lost touch with its elected officials. The advent of television was hailed as the solution to the communication gap and he feels it has succeeded. This assertion is not true. Just because political information can be found on television doesn't mean Americans take advantage of this communication. Surely the popularity of soap operas, reality shows, and televised sporting events has far overshadowed any interest in televised political affairs.

Read the following student perspective and then choose your answer.

One of Campbell's fervent hope was that upon the widespread distribution of televisions throughout America, national political awareness and interest would increase due to the availability of information.

The student is challenging the author's claim.

The student is qualifying the author's claim.

The student's perspective is unclear.

Qualifying a Claim: When we qualify a claim, we clarify it by adding some more information or by restricting claim's scope. After qualification a claim becomes more acceptable and balanced even for those who earlier slightly disagreed with that claim. Qualifying a claim includes qualifier words such as “some” or “many” or “most” or “often” etc. These words usually replace "all" and "always".

Challenging a Claim: It means entirely or partially disagreeing with claim. Disagreeing even with a specific element of the claim means challenging it.

Defending a Claim: It means entirely agreeing with a claim without any qualification.
