Evaluating an Argument — Quiz

Question 4 • English Language Arts 10

Which claims are supported by relevant evidence? Choose two correct answers.

Answer

Listening to music damages your hearing. If you talk to someone wearing headphones, they often don't answer.

Everyone should take vitamins. My mother says that people do not get enough nutrients from what they eat.

Drinking coffee is good for you. Two recent studies have shown that coffee drinkers live longer.

Vote for McKayla Johnson for president. She's on the volleyball team, and she gets good grades in all of her classes.

Students should use e-books. Many suffer from back trouble from carrying so many books in their backpacks.

Explanation

C is supported by relevant evidence because studies finding that coffee drinkers live longer relate directly to a possible health benefit of coffee. E is supported because back trouble from carrying heavy books is a reason that switching to e-books could help students. In A, not answering someone wearing headphones does not show that music damages hearing; in B, a mother’s opinion is not evidence that everyone needs vitamins.
