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.

this man, this Douglass, this former slave, this Negro
beaten to his knees, exiled, visioning a world
where none is lonely, none hunted, alien,
10 this man, superb in love and logic, this man
shall be remembered. Oh, not with statues’ rhetoric,
not with legends and poems and wreaths of bronze alone,
but with the lives grown out of his life, the lives
fleshing his dream of the beautiful, needful thing.

Section 5
They came to Seriphus. No one knew Perseus; he heard his name spoken of as that of
a youth who had gone on a foolish quest and who would never again be heard of. He
learned that Polydectes had a new plan to marry—and this time, he would marry Danae.
He had walled her up in a temple.
Perseus took Andromeda to the hut of Dictys, the shepherd, so she would be safe. Then
Perseus went to the temple and heard his mother's voice wailing: "Walled up here and
given over to hunger, I shall be made go to Polydectes's house and become his wife. O
ye gods, have ye no pity for Danae, the mother of Perseus?"
Perseus cried aloud, and his mother heard his voice and her moans ceased. He turned
around and he went to the palace of Polydectes, the king.
The king received him with mockeries. "I will let you stay in Seriphus for a day," he said,
"because I would have you attend a marriage feast. I have vowed that Danae, your
mother, will be my wife by to-morrow's sunset."
So Polydectes said, and the lords and princes who were around him mocked Perseus
and flattered the king. Perseus went from them then. The next day he came back to the
palace. But in his hands now there was a dreadful thing—the bag made from the hide of
the sea monster that had in it the Gorgon's head.
He saw his mother. She was brought in white and fainting, thinking that she would now
have to wed the harsh and overbearing king. Then she saw her son, and hope came into
her face.
The king seeing Perseus, said: "Step forward, O youngling, and see your mother wed to
a mighty man. Step forward to witness a marriage, and then depart, for it is not right that
a youth that makes promises and does not keep them should stay in a land that I rule
over. Step forward now, you with the empty hands."
But not with empty hands did Perseus step forward. He shouted out: "I have brought
something to you at last, O king—a present to you and your mocking friends. But you, O
my mother, hide your face from what I have brought." Saying this Perseus drew out the
Gorgon's head. Holding it by the snaky locks he stood before the company. His mother
turned away her face. But Polydectes and his insolent friends looked full upon what
Perseus showed. "This youth would try to frighten us with some magician’s trick!" they

said. They said no more, for they became as stones, and as stone images they still
stand in that hall in Seriphus.
Perseus went to Dictys the shepherd's hut, and he asked the kind shepherd to rule as
king in his brother’s place. Then with his wife, Andromeda, and his mother, Danae, he
went from Seriphus.
He did not go to Argos, the country that his grandfather had ruled over, although the
people there wanted Perseus to come and be their king. He took the kingdom of Tiryns
in exchange for that of Argos, and there he ruled with Andromeda by his side.
He gave the sickle-sword that had slain the Gorgon, and Medusa's head, back to
Hermes. That head Hermes's divine sister, Athena, goddess of wisdom, set upon her
shield. O, may Athena guard us all!
