Q: Unit 10 Quiz 1186213 (Form E) Question 1065450 - Objective(s) 10.3.1

Read the following passage from a paper discussing the effects of discarded cigarettes.

Governments have to foot large bills to clean up cigarette butts and other tobacco-related litter: the city of San Francisco alone spends seven million dollars a year cleaning up after outdoor smokers. The cost to the environment is even higher. In 2014, as in every previous year studied, the Ocean Conservancy identified cigarette butts as the #1 most littered item: in just one day, volunteers picked up more than two million butts on beaches worldwide. Less obvious but even more troubling, cigarettes cause soil and water pollution and threaten wildlife. Animals frequently swallow butts, and are sickened or killed by indigestible fibers and dangerous levels of nicotine and other chemicals. Discarded cigarettes are a long lasting source of toxic materials that leach out into soils and waterways. The National Institutes of Health reports that cigarettes contain 4000 chemicals, including heavy metals, carcinogens, pesticides, and herbicides, and can act as long lasting point sources of pollution.

This paragraph provides evidentiary support for which argument below?
- Cigarette taxes should be raised to pay for the high costs of cleaning up after smokers. (Correct. You identified the argument for which the paragraph provides evidentiary support.)
- Cigarette smoking pollutes the environment more than any other outdoor activity. (Incorrect. This is not the argument for which the paragraph provides evidentiary support.)
- Cigarette litter looks and smells bad, leaves stains, and is difficult to clean up. (Incorrect. This is not the argument for which the paragraph provides evidentiary support.)
- Cigarettes should be banned because smoking kills not just smokers but the people and animals around them. (Incorrect. This is not the argument for which the paragraph provides evidentiary support.)
A: Cigarette taxes should be raised to pay for the high costs of cleaning up after smokers.

Q: Unit 10 Quiz 1186213 (Form E) Question 1065462 - Objective(s) 10.3.1

Read the following paragraph from an essay against banning dog breeds:

For one thing, there is no such breed as a pit bull. The American Kennel Club does not recognize or register pit bulls. The ASPCA (2011) says a dozen or more different breeds are often lumped under the label, and each has its own disposition and characteristics. Because there isn’t a true pit bull breed, the statistics that ban advocates use cannot be trusted. While government records do list pit bulls as the biggest single cause of fatal dog attacks, the same study calls its own figures unreliable because people tend to call any large dog with a big head and short coat a pit bull (Sacks, Sinclair, and Gilchrist, 2015).

This paragraph provides evidentiary support for which of the arguments below?
- There is no clear proof that pit bulls are inherently dangerous. (Correct. You identified the argument for which the paragraph provides evidentiary support.)
- Banning pit bulls will not reduce dog attacks on humans. (Incorrect. This is not the argument for which the paragraph provides evidentiary support.)
- Statistics are unreliable. (Incorrect. This is not the argument for which the paragraph provides evidentiary support.)
- Organizations familiar with dogs and dog behavior oppose bans on specific breeds. (Incorrect. This is not the argument for which the paragraph provides evidentiary support.)
A: There is no clear proof that pit bulls are inherently dangerous.

Read these excerpts from two passages.

Family Treasures

Then Father asked Jerome to help him add more wood to the smoker, and my uncles made room for Dylan to sit down and join them in a game of dominoes. "I think we are just going to hang out in my room," I said, hoping to rescue my friends from this nightmare. "No, that’s OK," Dylan said. "This slapping dominoes game looks like fun!" Uncle Roberto chuckled and began explaining the finer rules of dominoes to Dylan...As I stood there and watched my friends, I realized I felt surprised. Surprised by their interest in my extended family, surprised that Dylan was laughing and slapping his dominoes as though he had been playing for years, and surprised that Jerome enjoyed listening to my father ramble on about our family recipes. But the biggest surprise was how I felt—honored to belong to this large and passionate family.

A Perspective on Paradise

By the time we got back to the campsite, dusk was approaching...That night always felt magical to me. We roasted marshmallows, Mom taught us silly songs, and Dad told us suspenseful stories. That was our first—and last—camping trip. In some ways it was our worst vacation ever; every day something seemed to go wrong. But somehow it ended up being our best vacation, too. Mom and Dad taught us the importance of perspective, and by the end of that trip, we were all convinced that it really is the people, not the place, that make a perfect day.

Q: Unit 10 Quiz 1186213 (Form C) Question 1195049 - Objective(s) 10.4.1

The United States’ courts continue to rule that for some citizens—students—freedom of speech is limited and that some places—schools—are special settings where the First Amendment is only partially guaranteed.

Consider this topic for a persuasion essay:

Does school censorship serve a valid purpose or should students be granted full first-amendment rights in school?

Write a thesis statement for a persuasion essay that addresses this question.
