2.Thalia is writing a letter to the city council in her town. There is a vacant lot in her town, and some people want to turn it into a parking lot. Thalia thinks the lot should be turned into a skate park. In an outline she creates to plan her letter, she lists the following reasons:

Reason 1: There is no safe place in town for kids to skateboard or roller-skate.
Reason 2: Adults are always saying that kids need to get more exercise.
Reason 3: Another parking lot would just increase traffic downtown.

Which piece of evidence could Thalia use to support Reason 3?
(1 point)

Skateboarding is a fun activity that can be very dangerous without proper safety gear and adult supervision.
Many people ride the bus or walk to the shops downtown, but a parking lot would encourage people to drive instead of using these more environmentally friendly methods of transportation.
Most health-care professionals recommend that kids get at least a half an hour of physical exercise most days of the week, but many children fall short of this benchmark.
Skateboarding is a very popular sport for kids in town, and giving them a safe place to skate would keep them out of dangerous parking lots.

2. Using a metal water bottle is one thing the average person can do to keep plastic out of landfills.

for the other one:Many people ride the bus or walk to the shops downtown, but a parking lot would encourage people to drive instead of using these more environmentally friendly methods of transportation

Explanation:

1). The statement that involves an arguable claim would be:

C). Using a metal water bottle is one thing the average person can do to keep plastic out of landfills.

2). The piece of evidence that Thalia can employ to back the reason no. 3 would be:

B). Many people ride the bus or walk to the shops downtown, but a parking lot would encourage people to drive instead of using these more environment-friendly methods of transportation.

1).

  • The claim 'Using...landfills' is debatable as it suggests a single way that every individual could adopt to prevent plastic from landfills.
  • It can be argued that there can be more than one way that people adopt or choose to adopt for preventing plastics to go into the landfills.
  • Thus, option C is the correct answer.

2).

  • The evidence 'Many...transportation' can be employed to back the third cause about 'another parking lot leading to increase in traffic.'
  • This description supports this claim by stating the causes behind it i.e. 'the people who use public transport to shift to personal vehicles which will increase traffic and pollution as well.
  • Thus, option B is the correct answer.
