which of the following is not a component of a strong argumentative essay?
clear and concise thesis statement
logical organization of ideas
reliance on emotional appeals rather than evidence
consideration of counterarguments

Explanation:

• For the first question: An appeal to emotion aims to evoke feelings. "Think of the children who will suffer if you don't support this policy" uses the emotion of concern for children. The other options use authority (dentists, Dr. Smith) or a slippery - slope claim ("downfall of society") which is more of a logical fallacy in a different sense.
• For the second question: A strong argumentative essay needs a clear thesis, logical organization, and consideration of counterarguments. Relying on emotional appeals rather than evidence is not a component of a strong argumentative essay as it should be based on facts and reasoning.

Answer:

1. "Think of the children who will suffer if you don't support this policy."
2. Reliance on emotional appeals rather than evidence
