Question 6 • 25-26 JISD TX EOC English II IGC Requirement
Devon is frustrated about the crumbling and broken sidewalks in her neighborhood. When she walks to school every day, she thinks about the challenge that the uneven concrete must present to older people, people in wheelchairs, and people with strollers and shopping baskets. She has written an opinion piece about the topic. In it she describes the condition of the sidewalks on her street and explains why she thinks repairing them is so important. She wants to share what she wrote in hopes that her neighbors will read it and pressure the alderman to take action.
Answer
A
sending the piece as a letter to her local alderman’s office
B
sending the piece as a letter to the editor of a local newspaper
C
submitting the piece for publication in a national magazine
D
submitting the piece for publication in an academic journal
Explanation
Devon wants her neighbors to read her opinion and put pressure on the alderman. A letter to the editor of a local newspaper is intended to reach people in the community and can raise public support for her concern. Sending it only to the alderman’s office would not directly share it with her neighbors, while a national magazine or academic journal is unlikely to reach the local audience she wants.
