6.4: Part 4: Writing an Argumentative Paragraph about an Informational Text

Question 3 • (OC27) ENG 4-1001400-S2-VRobinson-VOL7006P

Which is the best claim for an argumentative paragraph?

Answer
A
The chronometer was the most significant artifact in world trade because MacGregor explains its various abilities.
B
The chronometer was the most significant artifact in world trade because one was aboard the ship that carried Charles Darwin around the world.
C
The chronometer was the most significant artifact in world trade because it was invented by John Harrison in the mid-eighteenth century.
D
The chronometer was the most significant artifact in world trade because it allowed for a perfect charting of the world’s oceans.

Explanation

A strong argumentative claim should support its position with a clear, relevant reason. The chronometer made it possible to determine longitude at sea, helping sailors navigate and chart oceans more accurately. Choice D gives the most relevant reason for calling it significant to world trade; the other choices focus on a description, an anecdote, or the invention’s history rather than its impact.
