Writing an Argumentative Essay about a Social Topic

Question 10 • Language Arts 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

Which statement best supports an argumentative essay in favor of selling candy to raise money for a class trip?

Answer
A
Candy companies advertise their products on television.
B
Candy costs as much as healthier foods, such as fruit.
C
People are used to buying candy as treats for their children.
D
People eat more chocolate than other candies each year.

Explanation

A persuasive argument for selling candy needs a reason people are likely to buy it. Many people already buy candy as a treat for their children, so this supports the idea that candy could sell well and raise money for the trip. The other statements discuss advertising, prices, or candy consumption but do not give as direct a reason customers would buy it.
