Question 14 • TPS EdX English Language Arts 11

Which sentence best demonstrates the language required of an argumentative speech?

Answer

Every high school in the county must provide its students with thorough information about college entrance exams.

College entrance exams are super important to colleges, and every student must work hard to get a decent score.

High school guidance counselors are a good source of information about college entrance requirements.

Students often take preparatory classes to up their scores on college entrance exams.

Explanation

Argumentative speech uses clear, formal language to make a claim that can be supported with reasons and evidence. Choice A makes a specific claim about what every high school in the county must do. Choice B is less formal, using phrases such as “super important” and “decent score,” while C and D mainly state information rather than arguing for a position.
