Question

read the body paragraph that giovanna wrote for her argumentative essay. people need to think about water usage because they waste water without even realizing it. between 5 - 10 percent of homes have water leaks. those leaks add up to 90 million gallons of lost water every day! what should giovanna add to the paragraph that would make it a complete argument? at the beginning of the paragraph, she should add a quotation. at the beginning of the paragraph, she should add a topic sentence. at the end of the paragraph, she should add a relevant counterclaim. at the end of the paragraph, she should add a link back to the claim.

Explanation:

To make an argumentative paragraph complete, after presenting evidence (water leak stats), a link back to the claim (people need to think about water usage) is needed at the end. A quotation or topic sentence start isn't right here, and a counterclaim isn't necessary for completion here.

Answer:

D. At the end of the paragraph, she should add a link back to the claim.
