Writing an Argument about How to Define Success — Quiz
Question 3 • English Language Arts 12
Read the claim from an argumentative essay. Graffiti art deserves to be treated like "real” art because, like other types of art, it has its own unique style, contains artistic elements like color and composition, and expresses the emotions and viewpoints of the artists. Which statement offers the best evidence to support the claim?
Answer
A
Last year, our art class took a walking tour of graffiti art in a nearby city.
B
“I prefer classic art, but I’ve seen a lot of graffiti art,” said a gallery owner.
C
The use of spray paint to create original lettering has art critics impressed.
D
One art professor said, “Actually, graffiti art isn’t on our curriculum this year.”
Explanation
The claim says graffiti art deserves recognition because it has artistic qualities. Choice C supports that idea by showing that artists use spray paint to create original lettering, and that art critics are impressed by it. The other choices describe a class tour, a curriculum decision, or a personal preference without giving evidence of graffiti’s artistic merit.
