Read Ara's rebuttal from an argumentative essay. Student Work While it is true that changing class times poses logistical problems, the fact remains: students at our high school are not getting enough sleep, and this is affecting their ability to learn. What kind of evidence would best support the rebuttal? Choose three correct answers.
Answer
A
statistics about when classes usually begin at US schools
B
information about the effects of sleep deprivation on teenagers
C
statistics about how many hours teenagers need to sleep
D
information about logistical problems involved in changing class times
E
statistics about the sleeping habits of high school students
Explanation
The rebuttal argues that students are not getting enough sleep and that too little sleep harms their learning. Information about sleep deprivation’s effects supports the learning claim (B), while the recommended number of sleep hours (C) and high school students’ actual sleeping habits (E) can show whether students are getting enough. Details about class-start times or logistical problems focus on scheduling rather than supporting the rebuttal’s main point.
