Read this excerpt from Rudolfo Anaya's essay "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry,"
Tortillas and poetry. They go hand in hand, Books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. Our distinct
cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different
cultures, we become freer and freer.....
I don't know anyone who doesn't like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; Just
as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. I travel to foreign countries, and I know
more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings, Censorship imposes itself in my path of
knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one
Which of these changes would make this excerpt more argumentative?
using words that affect the audience's sense of trust
using less repetition of certain words and phrases
including words that address logic and reason
including words that are charged with emotion

The correct answer is C. Including words that address logic and reason

Explanation:

The purpose of an argument is to prove as valid a specific point of view usually by including reasons, evidence, examples, based on facts and logic. In the case of the excerpt presented, the author argues against censorship by explaining the importance of reading and highlighting how books are necessary for the spirit. Additionally, in this argument, the author provides mainly evidence based on emotions such as "Books nourish the spirit" or "we become freer and freer". In this context, one way to make the excerpt more argumentative is to introduce words or statements that are based on logic and reason because by introducing this type of objective evidence the author can better prove the importance of preventing censorship, and therefore the argument will be strengthened.

Reread the excerpt from President Obama's "Jobs Bill Speech." Tonight we meet at an urgent time for our country. We continue to face an economic crisis that has left millions of our neighbors jobless, and a political crisis that has made things worse. This past week, reporters have been asking “What will this speech mean for the President? What will it mean for Congress? How will it affect their polls, and the next election?” But the millions of Americans who are watching right now: they don’t care about politics. They have real life concerns. Many have spent months looking for work. Others are doing their best just to scrape by—giving up nights out with the family to save on gas or make the mortgage; postponing retirement to send a kid to college. I am sending this Congress a plan that you should pass right away. It’s called the American Jobs Act. There should be nothing controversial about this piece of legislation. Everything in here is the kind of proposal that’s been supported by both Democrats and Republicans—including many who sit here tonight. And everything in this bill will be paid for. Everything. The purpose of the American Jobs Act is simple: to put more people back to work and more money in the pockets of those who are working. It will create more jobs for construction workers, more jobs for teachers, more jobs for veterans, and more jobs for the long-term unemployed. It will provide a tax break for companies who hire new workers, and it will cut payroll taxes in half for every working American and every small business. It will provide a jolt to an economy that has stalled, and give companies confidence that if they invest and hire, there will be customers for their products and services. You should pass this jobs plan right away. Pass this jobs bill, and starting tomorrow, small businesses will get a tax cut if they hire new workers or raise workers’ wages. Pass this jobs bill, and all small business owners will also see their payroll taxes cut in half next year. If you have 50 employees making an average salary, that’s an $80,000 tax cut. And all businesses will be able to continue writing off the investments they make in 2012. Pass this jobs bill, and we can put people to work rebuilding America. Everyone here knows that we have badly decaying roads and bridges all over this country. Our highways are clogged with traffic. Our skies are the most congested in the world. The American Jobs Act will repair and modernize at least 35,000 schools. It will put people to work right now fixing roofs and windows; installing science labs and high-speed internet in classrooms all across this country. It will rehabilitate homes and businesses in communities hit hardest by foreclosures. It will jumpstart thousands of transportation projects across the country. And to make sure the money is properly spent and for good purposes, we’re building on reforms we’ve already put in place. Pass this jobs bill, and thousands of teachers in every state will go back to work. These are the men and women charged with preparing our children for a world where the competition has never been tougher. But while they’re adding teachers in places like South Korea, we’re laying them off in droves. It’s unfair to our kids. It undermines their future and ours. And it has to stop. Pass this jobs bill, and put our teachers back in the classroom where they belong. Pass this jobs bill, and companies will get extra tax credits if they hire America’s veterans. We ask these men and women to leave their careers, leave their families, and risk their lives to fight for our country. The last thing they should have to do is fight for a job when they come home. Pass this bill, and hundreds of thousands of disadvantaged young people will have the hope and dignity of a summer job next year. And their parents, low-income Americans who desperately want to work, will have more ladders out of poverty. . . . Then answer the question that follows. Do you think this type of argument is convincing? Give at least three reasons to support your answer. Your answer should contain the following: Your opinion Reason #1 Reason #2 Reason #3
