Comparing Accounts of Clara Barton’s Story

Question 1 • MO-English Language Arts 9 B-CR

Which claim is the most effective for an argument that technology and the Internet have brought young people closer together?

Answer

Technology and the Internet are bringing people, including teenagers, closer together every day.

There are many reasons technology and the Internet have generally brought teenagers together, but there are also many reasons it causes divisions between young people.

Technology and the Internet allow people to share experiences, news, and information almost instantly, bringing young people closer together than ever before.

Explanation

Choice C makes a clear, specific claim and explains how technology brings young people closer: it lets them share experiences, news, and information almost instantly. Choice A is less effective because it simply asserts that people are getting closer without explaining why. Choice B weakens the argument by focusing partly on ways technology causes divisions.
