Read the two passages from arguments on water conservation.

Passage 1:

After stricter water-usage restrictions were passed, residents started using less water per month. This shows how legislation can influence citizens’ actions and why more restrictions are needed to further decrease water waste. Government action is the best way to effect lasting environmental change.

Passage 2:

Citizens showed their dedication to water conservation by responding positively to new water restrictions and lowering their water usage. This indicates that no new restrictions need to be put in place. Our residents are concerned about water conservation and will work hard to keep water waste to a minimum.

How do these authors use the same evidence about water usage to support their arguments?

The authors expand on the evidence to different degrees.
The authors disagree about the validity of the evidence.
The authors use the evidence to attack and discredit their opponent.
The authors agree on the problem but offer different solutions.

Answer:

D: The authors offer different solutions but agree on the same problem.

Explanation:

The author in Passage 1 suggests that if you put stricter restrictions on water, people will need to stop using so much water, in Passage 2 the author suggests that since people already conserve their water, it's best to not add any of these restrictions as it isn't needed. Both agree on that people should stop wasting water, but passage 1 says that we should add strict regulations whilst passage 2 says that there's no need as people already conserve water.

I learned to swim when I was six years old. My mother took me to the local pool and left me there for an hour every week. At first, I was worried that I would not pass the class. I knew I would be embarrassed if I had to take it again the next summer. After a few weeks, though, I stopped worrying and started having fun with the other kids. The instructor let us play for a while every week after our lesson. Before I knew it, I could swim halfway across the pool.

How did the English Bill of Rights affect the rights of the monarch and Parliament?

Passage 1
As more and more people choose to read the headlines on the internet or watch news programs on
television, major newspapers are rapidly losing money and some have shut down completely. It is obvious
that traditional journalism is in crisis. But if we have other news sources, why should we care about
newspapers? The answer is that the newspaper is still the primary source for specific local topics: local
politics, schools, crime, neighborhood and community events, local jobs, and so on Newspapers continue
to be a valuable and convenient source of information we might not be able to easily access elsewhere.
Passage 2
We've all heard the claims that the newspaper industry is dying, and it's true that daily circulation has been
dropping. But there's no need to panic. Thanks to the internet, we now have greater access to information
than newspapers ever provided. Why should we wait to read about today's news in tomorrow's papers
when we can go to websites and follow a breaking story as it develops? And why should we pay for delivery
of our local papers when local, national, and giobal news can be found online for free? Someday soon
there won't be any newspapers left--and I doubt we'll even notice
Question
Both authors would most likely agree with which statement?
More people receive their news coverage from the internet than from television
Online news sources are more informative than print sources
Newspapers are not as popular as they once were.
Newspapers no longer cover local news topics

Lewis and Clark left St. Louis in the spring of 1804. This marked the beginning of their journey into the unknown. Over the next two years, they would travel across the continent and back. They would hunt elk and battle grizzly bears. They would meet many of the native people living in the West.

The men and their crew planned to travel up the Missouri River. When they reached its source, they would be in the Rocky Mountains. They planned to cross the mountains and head down the Columbia River. From there, they would reach their destination: the Pacific Ocean.

The journey of Lewis and Clark was the most important journey of the time. It was also one of the most difficult and dangerous trips ever made. The land Lewis and Clark planned to travel through had only been seen by the Native Americans living there.

The United States was a young nation when Lewis and Clark made their trip. It had recently gained a large area of land from France. At the time, all white Americans lived in the eastern part of the country. The new land lay to the west. No one knew exactly what it was like or what could be found there. President Jefferson hoped Lewis and Clark could change that.

Select the correct answer.

Why did Lewis and Clark travel across the continent?
A.
It was faster than sailing around it
B.
To get supplies from the Pacific Ocean
C.
To explore and map unknown land
