Read the sentence. many of these classes, therefore, prepare students for gainful employment. where would the sentence be added to achieve a logical progression of ideas? the following is a rough draft of a student’s letter. it contains errors. dear principal jones: (1) i have just learned that due to a lack of funding, after school enrichment classes at our school may be discontinued. (2) this news is upsetting to our school community and both students and parents benefit from their programming. (3) for students, enrichment classes offer positive group experiences and educational opportunities after school. (4) taking afterschool classes in subjects like algebra, chemistry, and latin makes it possible for tenth-graders to get ahead in their course work by earning class credits early on. (5) by completeing some of these enrichment courses, a tenth grader can become eligible to take upper-level elective classes like art and advanced computer programming. (6) enrichment classes can offer students exposure to some valuable, less common activities as well. (7) the foreign language enrichment program offers languages such as german, russian, chinese, and american sign language, none of which are offered as part of the regular curriculum at collier high school. (8)students can take part in sports activities, like mountain biking, gymnasics, and line dancing, and unexpected arts and crafts activities, like puppet-making and plastercraft. (9) for parents, the enrichment program provides peace of mind. (10) there is an undeniable comfort in knowing that their children will be participating in stemulating, supervised activities between the end of the school day and the time the parents return home from work. (11) without enrichment classes, parents would have to arrange for a safe place where their kids could spend a few hours every afternoon. (12) those in favor of ending the enrichment program claim it costs too much. (13) instead of offering these classes for free—why not charge a small amount of money for those who wish to join? (14) many students might be willing to pay one dollar per day to try hands-on science experiments, to become skilled at indoor rock climbing, or learn how to paint a wall mural. (15) perhaps local businesses would be willing to offer enrichment scholarships to students who apply themselves and do good in the program. (16) featuring the names of contributing businesses in the program’s brochure would be good advertising for these businesses, and the scholarships would keep the program going. (17) people at collier high school are really crazy about the afterschool enrichment program, (18) the program offers a wide range of educational choices and the opportunity to earn class credits, and it also provides enjoyable recreational activities. (19) it would be a mistake to drop such a valuable program without searching for new ways to obtain the funds necessary to maintain it. sincerely, treena jarrett collier high school student a after sentence 2 of the report b after sentence 4 of the report c after sentence 3 of the report d after sentence 5 of the report

c? not a 100% sure

explanation:

formal arguments

in written, formal arguments, the best way to build credibility with readers is to provide them with evidence. no matter what your argument might be and which side you agree with, citing strong evidence to back up your claim leaves the opposition with little to argue.

emotional appeal is often used in oral arguments. written arguments, however, rely on four main types of evidence. as you read further, you will see that some types are more credible than others and "hold more water" so to speak.

statistical evidence

the strongest type of evidence in formal writing is statistical evidence. this ranges from true, hard data presented as a percentage or number, to survey-type data. for example, statistical evidence could be:

4 out of 5 experts claim

85% of women in the united

7 members were present

statistical evidence can be proven as fact. you can actually go out and find hard information to prove your particular claim.

testimonial evidence

the use of celebrities as credibility evidence can be considered testimonial in nature. many people look up to celebrities as role models in their lives. good or bad, when a person chooses a life-path that takes them into public light, there will be many others out there who want to emulate the celebrity. these celebrity endorsements provide the second-strongest type of evidence found in formal arguments.

testimonial evidence can also be collected from experts and authorities in a given field. doctors, dentists, lawyers often provide expert testimonials. their authority is not often questions. they are expected to "know their stuff."

anecdotal evidence

when storytelling is involved as evidence, anecdotal evidence is being used. due to its less objective nature, anecdotal evidence is not extremely strong. when coupled with statistical or testimonial evidence, anecdotal evidence can be highly effective in determining credibility or proof.

storytelling, although based on fact, can include quite a bit of opinion, thus making it less objective. usually, eyewitnesses are used as providers of anecdotal evidence. they saw or experienced the phenomenon at hand are telling their version or side of the story.

analogical evidence

when information is scarce about something and little is known, analogical evidence is often used in a formal argument to increase credibility of the proof. if the phenomenon in question is new and little is known about it, analogical evidence that pulls in known factors about a similar phenomenon to show parallels can be an effective way to provide proof.

due to limited knowledge about the phenomenon, in this situation, analogical evidence can be regarded as the weakest type of evidence used in formal arguments. one can only imagine and hope that the comparison-phenomenon is close enough that the results can be applied to the new phenomenon.

in the

all that really matters in a formal argument is whether or not the writer has credible evidence to back up what they want to say or what they are thinking. so often, we hear people say, "prove it! " to one another.

one last little formal arguments not only provide credible evidence to support claims, don't forget that acknowledgment of the opposing point of view in an argument also strengthens the entire product.

you need to add the passage to the question.
