ead the excerpt from "Healthy Eating."

Read the paragraph.

When people adopt pets, they often choose a puppy or a kitten. But people should give more serious consideration to adopting an older animal. Older dogs and cats make wonderful, loyal companions. Some people do not want to adopt an older animal, because they think they are too stuck in their ways and may have bad habits. This is often untrue. Older animals usually require much less training than younger ones. My neighbor, Mrs. Hendricks, said, "Older pets are already house trained, they are less likely to destroy items within the home, and many of them know basic commands." So the next time you visit the pet shelter looking for a new member of your family, think seriously about adopting an older animal. It just might be the perfect pet.

What would make the author's argument more effective?

offering a reason to support her opinion
providing a quotation from a credible source
recognizing and refuting a counterclaim
motivating readers with a call to action

Answer:

A is your answer!

Explanation:

It is A because most people would need a valid reason for why they should follow the author's opinion. If they had just read the argument they wouldn't feel that they should follow after the author because she/he did not give a reason for why also because it is very pushy and unconvincing to me at least.

Read this excerpt from I Never Had It Made.

Winning his directors' approval was almost insignificant in contrast to the task which now lay ahead of the Dodger president. He made certain that word of his plans did not leak out, particularly to the press. Next, he had to find the ideal player for his project, which came to be called "Rickey's noble experiment." This player had to be one who could take abuse, name-calling, rejection by fans and sportswriters and by fellow players not only on opposing teams but on his own. He had to be able to stand up in the face of merciless persecution and not retaliate.

On the other hand, he had to be a contradiction in human terms; he still had to have spirit. He could not be an Uncle Tom. His ability to turn the other cheek had to be predicated on his determination to gain acceptance. Once having proven his ability as player, teammate, and man, he had to be able to cast off humbleness and stand up as a full-fledged participant whose triumph did not carry the poison of bitterness.

Which is the central idea of this excerpt?

Rickey is frustrated with the cruel treatment of his players.
Rickey needs a strong man of purpose to represent integration.
Rickey hopes to find a player willing to fight members of the press.
Rickey wants to interview athletes to assess their personalities.

(my paragraph)

The jellyfish are overpopulating our oceans. Some species of jellyfish can release up to 40,000 eggs daily! That is how swarms turn into blooms. When jellyfish numbers are out of control, that’s when they are called blooms. According to the Columbia University website,” Jellyfish blooms disrupt the fishing industry by tearing nets and harming fish. Smaller jellyfish or jellyfish tentacles can enter aquaculture pens and suffocate the fish surrounding the jellyfish. Jellyfish sting swimmers, discouraging tourism. They clog cooling water intakes at power plants, causing power reductions or shutdowns.” These are some bad problems that need solutions.

The Rainy Day and The Castle-Builder



Read the selections and choose the best answer for each question.



Poem 1: The Rainy Day

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;

It rains, and the wind is never weary;

The vine still clings to the mouldering1 wall,

But at every gust the dead leaves fall,

5 And the day is dark and dreary.



My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;

It rains, and the wind is never weary;

My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past,

But the hopes of youth fall think in the blast,

10 And the days are dark and dreary.



Be still, sad heart! and cease repining2;

Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;

Thy fate is the common fate of all,

Into each life some rain must fall,

15 Some days must be dark and dreary.



Mouldering: decaying; rottingRepining: complaining





Poem 2: The Castle-Builder

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow



A gentle boy, with soft and silken locks,

A dreamy boy, with brown and tender eyes,

A castle-builder, with his wooden blocks,

And towers that touch imaginary skies.



5 A fearless rider on his father’s knee,

An eager listener unto stories told

At the Round Table of the nursery,

Of heroes and adventures manifold.



There will be other towers for thee to build;

10 There will be other steeds for thee to ride;

There will be other legends, and all filled

With greater marvels and more glorified.



Build on, and make thy castles high and fair, ,

Rising and reaching upward to the skies;

15 Listening to voices in the upper air,

Nor lose thy simple faith in mysteries.
