Writing an Argumentative Essay about a Social Topic

Question 7 • Language Arts 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

Which claim could be used in an essay about changing the voting age?

Answer
A
A large group of people in this country do not vote.
B
Right now you can begin voting when you turn eighteen years old.
C
Voting for local elections is as important as voting for president.
D
Teenagers who are sixteen should be able to participate in democracy by voting.

Explanation

A claim about changing the voting age should state an opinion about what the voting age ought to be. “Teenagers who are sixteen should be able to participate in democracy by voting” argues for lowering the voting age, so it could serve as the essay’s claim. The other choices provide general information or opinions about voting without directly proposing a change to the voting age.
