Question 1 • FL-1001420-AP English Language and Composition Sem 1 - Flex

Anthes writes an informative article with a subtle argument. What message does she convey?

Answer
A
Scientists need to find sustainable methods to feed ever-growing numbers of people.
B
Global populations must find more protein-rich food sources than traditional diets offer.
C
The use of insects as a food source would lead to a decrease in potential health issues.
D
People should be open to using insects as food and animal-feed alternatives.
E
Businesses must find ways to reduce the environmental impact of industrial livestock farming.

Explanation

Anthes presents insects as a practical alternative for both human food and animal feed, highlighting their benefits and addressing objections to eating them. The subtle argument is that people should be willing to consider insects as alternatives, not that they must replace traditional foods or that insects guarantee fewer health problems. Therefore, the message is “People should be open to using insects as food and animal-feed alternatives.”
