There are so many opportunities to make a difference in another person’s life. As life gets busy, we tend to lose sight of what’s important, like giving back to the community. Here are some ideas to participate in public service. Local soup kitchens and food pantries are always looking for volunteers. There are also many nursing homes that welcome volunteers. Additionally, many nonprofit businesses, like the YMCA, offer opportunities for people to donate their time. I have included many links throughout my blog that guide people to volunteer opportunities in their area. Think about how you would like to give back. Sometimes getting friends involved can make the experience even more meaningful. Get involved today; it’s never too late!

Read the entry from Amena’s blog about the importance of community service.

How effective is Amena in developing her claim?
A: include a fact about how nursing homes are run

B: include an interview with someone who has never volunteered

C: include an image of YMCA building

D:include a quote from someone who has volunteered

it is D, because it tells you to add something that would convince readers to volunteer for making a difference in someone life, like a soup kitchen.

Explanation:

Including a fact about how nursing homes are run would probably make it much more boring and the person isn't going to want to do it, Including an interview with someone who has never volunteered makes no sense so how will they know anything about it and convince the reader to volunteer? Including  an image of a YMCA building wouldn't convince the reader to volunteer, cause it tells them nothing, all they will be thinking is, "okay? its a building what about it?" a picture of a building is not that interesting so it wouldn't convince them of anything, much less care about the cause.

so therefore it is D. include a quote from someone who has volunteered

well stockyards mean a large yard containing pens and sheds, typically adjacent to a slaughterhouse, in which livestock is kept and sorted. and i'm assuming that by party you   mean a large group of people which does make sense because chicago is a very crowded place much like new york. stockyards tend to take up a lot of room due to needing the area for pens to keep animals in and the fact that stockyards are usually right by slaughterhouse where they process and distribute the product. so its much like a zoo but with some dead animal products close by.
