Read the following excerpt from an argumentative essay. Answer the question that follows.


Critics might say that smartphones in the classroom cause too many distractions. A 2009 article in Education Magazine made just such a claim. Although cell phones can certainly cause distractions, current research suggests that teachers and students are putting phones to better use. A 2013 Educator Insider poll reveals that 67% of high school instructors now encourage students to use phones in the classroom setting. Students without phones are actually at a disadvantage in the classroom. The poll lists Internet access, spell checks, and collaboration as three key uses of smartphones in an educational setting.


What is the counterclaim the author introduces to the argument?

Cell phones should be allowed in the classroom.
Cell phones in the classroom cause too many distractions.
Students without phones are actually at a disadvantage in the classroom.
67% of high school instructors now encourage students to use phones in the classroom.

Both the musk ox and the Alstroemeria flower have supporting structures. The stem supports the flower while the musk has a skeleton to support and give it its shape.

What is a musk ox?

A hoofed mammal belonging to the Bovidae family is the muskox. It is a native of the Arctic, distinguished by its thick coat and by the potent odor that males release during the seasonal rut, which gives rise to its name.

Alstroemeria is a genus of flowering plants , also known as the Peruvian lily or lily of the Incas. Although some have acquired citizenship in the United States, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Madeira, and the Canary Islands, they are all South American natives.

Both of them possess reproductive systems. The pistil or stamen is found in flowers, but the testes or ovaries are found in musk oxen. Animals and plants both have defence mechanisms.  Other bodies have wax or outer hair, and the ox has a hairy outer body for protection.

Therefore,  two examples of similar structures of the Alstroemeria flower and the musk ox is mentioned above.

Part A

Read this excerpt from "Improving Old MacDonald's Farm."

It’s not just animals, though. Chemicals in pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and fertilizers can also cause water pollution. Pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides are used to kill pests such as crop-eating insects and to control the growth of weeds and fungi. Fertilizers are used to feed crops and make them grow faster and healthier. Unfortunately, chemicals used to kill bugs and weeds can also damage other things. These chemicals can enter and contaminate water in several ways—through use and overuse in or around the water, from runoff, or by the wind. And their effects can be deadly. The chemicals can kill fish and other wildlife, poison food sources, and destroy the habitat that small animals use to hide from predators.

Passage
Prompt:
Your school district is considering removing handwriting and cursive classes from its school curriculum. Would you be in favor of such a policy?

Claim:
Our district should not eliminate cursive classes from its curriculum.

Paragraph topic:
Cursive can connect students to the past.

Evidence:

According to Johnson Kipling, professor of linguistics at Upton State University, "writing in cursive teaches reading cursive, and many of the foundational documents of our country are written in cursive, as are other historical documents. Looking at a typed transcript of these documents disconnects students from truly understanding them as part of history. One of history's central lessons is that times change and things evolve."
A poll of our state's high school history and government teachers revealed that almost 90 percent of them use primary-source historical documents written in cursive on a regular basis.
Counterclaim:
Students can just look at typed versions of historical documents to get the same information.

Answers

Answer:

I haven't read it so I can only guess based on what you've shown us. It sounds as though earlier on in the story, Annemarie wanted to be involved in some sort of potentially dangerous activity. Later on, I assume she witnessed someone else get hurt or realized the true danger of the activity and realized she's actually glad she isn't involved in a harmful way. The inference I can make is that her opinion on the dangerous activity, whatever it may be, has changed due to someone or something else's suffering.

This might not even be correct since I don't know what the reading is from, but I hope this at least helps you make your own inference of whatever the reading was.

According to the article , " does it pay for companies to do good" what connection does the author draw between job applicants and a company's commitment to social responsibility ?
A- if a company advertised that they were fulfilling their social responsibility , they could offer lower wage
B- despite a company helping others , less people applied for jobs when the company advertised lower wages
C - applicants were more interested in a company's benefit offers rather than what the company did for others
D - more people apply for a job when the company offers high wages and practices corporate social responsibility

Answers

D More people apply for a job when the company offers....

With the relationship that the author draws between the company's social deeds and the job applicants, we could identify that the last option has described the relationship most explicitly. Hence D is the correct option.

What do we mean by Social Responsibility?

With reference to the article, we could infer that any company’s social responsibility could be to produce goods more ethically or to provide a fair trading system rather than to try and maximize shareholders' interests and their wealth.

But when talked about in the most generic sense, one social responsibility could be to act as a philanthropic body and be considerate towards the environmental welfare with stern and intact grounds against unethical deeds as well as to have a sense of economic responsibility.

When such paradigms are reached along with the provided high wages by the companies their growth rates ought to take a flight towards the zenith of their applications for jobs by the applicants. Therefore more people will apply for jobs when the company will offer high wages along with the inducement of corporate social deeds.

Hence, option D is the correct solution.
