lily is writing an argumentative essay against the effects of corporal punishment.
which of the following will act as appropriate textual evidence for her essay?
statistics showing the disciplinary benefits of corporal punishment.
peer - reviewed journals on the positive behavioral changes caused by corporal punishment.
expert articles on the psychological impacts of corporal punishment.
none of the choices

Explanation:

Lily is writing against corporal punishment. Statistics showing its benefits (first option) and peer - reviewed journals on positive behavioral changes (second option) support corporal punishment. Expert articles on its psychological impacts could potentially show negative effects (if they are negative impacts), which would support her essay. But since the first two options are pro - corporal punishment and the third could be relevant (assuming it shows negative impacts as per the essay's stance), we need to analyze. However, if we assume the third option is about negative psychological impacts (as it is the only one that could be against corporal punishment among the first three), then it is appropriate.

Answer:

Expert articles on the psychological impacts of corporal punishment.
