Question
claim 1: during summer vacation, i take a walk every day after lunch. the air is refreshing and helps me prepare for the rest of the day. i also love taking a few minutes to break up the day. i can’t imagine going without my lunchtime walk! during the school year, students should be able to take a walk outside after lunch every day.
claim 2: time outside promotes physical health and encourages social interaction and collaboration among students. in addition to anchoring students to the real world, research has shown that time outside leads to greater productivity and better learning outcomes. for these reasons, students should have time outside during every school day.
use the two claims to answer the question.
how does the style of claim 1 engage the audience in a way that the style of claim 2 does not?
(1 point)
claim 1 explains some benefits of outdoor time in order to gain support from its audience.
claim 1 uses formal and objective language to convey factual details to the audience.
claim 1 explains how research supports its claim in order to convey authority to its audience.
claim 1 uses informal and subjective language to appeal to the audience in a personal and conversational way.
- Analyze Claim 1: It uses personal experiences ("I take a walk...", "I can’t imagine...") and conversational language ("love taking a few minutes..."), which is informal and subjective, aiming to connect personally with the audience.
- Analyze other options:
- First option: Claim 1’s benefits are personal, not to gain support via explaining benefits like a persuasive argument with general benefits.
- Second option: Claim 1 is not formal or objective; it’s personal.
- Third option: Claim 1 has no research, unlike Claim 2 which mentions "research has shown".
- Fourth option matches Claim 1’s style: informal (personal anecdotes, conversational tone) and subjective (personal feelings like "love", "can’t imagine") to engage the audience personally.
