The True Story behind Trifles

Question 3 • IA-English Language Arts 11 B

Which is the best claim for an argumentative essay that supports the sale of unlabeled genetically modified food?

Answer

Food companies that label genetically modified food are behaving unethically by needlessly alarming consumers.

There are food companies that sell genetically modified food without including a label that identifies it as such.

It is ethical for food companies to sell unlabeled genetically modified food because customers can become confused if there are too many labels.

Explanation

An argumentative claim should take a clear position and give a reason that can be supported with evidence. Choice C argues that selling genetically modified food without a label is ethical and gives a reason: too many labels may confuse customers. Choice B only states a fact, while choice A criticizes companies that label the food rather than supporting unlabeled sales.
