Compare these headlines. "Requiring community service hours for high school graduation creates better citizens.” by Jack Smith, Liberal Times, February 15, 2021"Demanding community service hours for graduation puts too much strain on students.” by Jennifer Smith, Conservative Post, February 15, 2021

Answer
A
Both articles focus on only one side of the issue.
B
Both articles approve of requiring community service.
C
Neither article backs up its claims with facts.
D
Neither article approves of requiring community service.

Explanation

The first headline presents only a benefit of required service: creating better citizens. The second presents only a drawback: putting too much strain on students. Since each headline emphasizes one side rather than considering both benefits and drawbacks, choice A is correct. Choice B is wrong because the second headline criticizes the requirement, while choice D is wrong because the first supports it.
