Must pick this excerpt from the persuasive essay "pets in school: barking up the wrong tree." which two sentences present a viewpoint that is in opposition to the writer’s position? one of the most commonly cited benefits of having pets in school is they calm students and improve their overall health. this claim ignores the fact that some students have animal allergies. moreover, having pets such as dogs and cats in the classroom will put students at risk of getting bites and scratches. supporters of having pets in schools also claim that contact with pets will improve learning by reducing children’s anxiety. however, these figures refer only to controlled contact with reading dogs. the time students spent with the dogs was limited and supervised. these benefits would not apply to a situation where children bring their pets to school with them.

Two different sentences that represent a viewpoint that is in opposition to the writer’s position:

1)One of the most commonly cited benefits of having pets in school is they help calm students and improve their overall health.

2)Supporters of having pets in schools also claim that contact with pets will improve learning by reducing children’s anxiety.

Explanation:

These two sentences present a viewpoint that is in opposition to the writer's position. The writer believes that bringing pets to school is not a good idea, as students might have allergies, the risk of accidents is high and there is not enough evidence of the benefits this brings. However, the author also acknowledges some of the views of those who oppose him. He tells us that opposers claim that dogs can help calm students and improve their overall health. They also propose that contact with pets will improve learning by reducing children’s anxiety.
