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.

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
