Read the excerpt from "Healthy Eating."

But no one can ignore the damage being wrought by all this bad eating. More than one out of three adults in the United States -- 37.5 percent -- are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some of the leading causes of death -- heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes -- are directly linked to obesity. And childhood obesity has tripled in the last 30 years. With more than a third of kids between 6 and 19 considered obese, the CDC reports, they are at substantially more risk for developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, bone and joint conditions, and cancer.

The author's argument that a poor diet can be harmful to a person's health is

ineffective, because it lacks clear and reasonable evidence.
ineffective, because it leaves the reader with questions.
effective, because it addresses and refutes a counterclaim.
effective, because it includes facts from a credible source.

How is paragraph 2 structured in CGI Is the Future of Movies?
Paragraph 2: When the 1993 movie Jurassic Park was released, CGI was still an unproven technology. Many people weren’t sure it was worth the money. But audiences were amazed by the realistic dinosaurs “interacting” with human actors. Jurassic Park’s enormous success proved that CGI technology could look convincing and earn money. After seeing the dinosaurs, director George Lucas said, “It was like one of those moments in history . . . a major gap had been crossed and things were never going to be the same.” Film critic Tom Shone compared the invention of CGI to the use of sound in movies in 1927. CGI has allowed filmmakers to show Washington, DC, exploding in Independence Day, giant robots battling monsters in Pacific Rim, and an entire alien planet to come to life in Avatar. None of these effects would be convincing, or even possible, without CGI.

Read this excerpt from Jody Frank's blog post Surfing the Smart Lane: Technology Can Make Us Smarter and think about why she used these specific reasons to support her claim that advances in technology are beneficial.

I've given it some thought, and I now realize that there are specific reasons why advances in digital technology have helped me work smarter. Twenty years ago, I coded HTML web pages by hand in a text editor. That skill still comes in handy, but visual HTML editors, databases, and other tools let me build websites much faster and better than I used to. These tools let me focus on design and layout instead of on tiny, nitpicky details. By freeing my mind from the drudgery of writing code, these tools allow me to be more creative. They also protect me from careless typing errors. (When you work in code, a missing quotation mark or bracket can ruin your life, at least for an hour or two.) Fortunately, the digital technologies that sustain the internet connect me with a worldwide network of other web developers who generously share their knowledge. If I have a problem, it’s extremely likely that another web developer has already solved that problem and posted the solution online.

How might Frank's reasons influence her audience to agree with her?

A. The audience will see the personal benefits technology has brought to her career.

B. The audience will feel as if they know her personally and will respect her opinion.

C. The audience will want to have the same level of success as the author, so they will agree with her.

D. The audience will see how technology has made the author less creative and more disciplined, which will inspire them.
