Writing an Argumentative Essay about Fire Prevention — Quiz
Question 4 • 191 CR ELA 9
Read the body paragraph from Reiko’s argumentative essay. It’s a good idea to eat fruits and vegetables. A study of over seventy thousand nurses showed that eating fruit and green leafy vegetables resulted in a lower risk of diabetes. When Reiko writes the final sentence of the paragraph, what should she add to complete the argument?
Answer
A
the counterclaim to her claim
B
the evidence to support her claim
C
a connection back to her claim
D
an introduction to her claim
Explanation
The paragraph already states Reiko’s claim—that eating fruits and vegetables is a good idea—and gives evidence from a study showing a lower risk of diabetes. The final sentence should explain how that evidence supports her claim, making a connection back to it. So she should add a connection back to her claim.
