Read the description of the debate.Henrique introduced Anita and Lorenzo and explained the rules of the debate. After Henrique stated the resolution, Anita spoke first. Though Lorenzo tried to prove Anita wrong, she stuck to her support of the resolution. After both sides had spoken, the teacher announced the winner of the debate.
Answer
A
Henrique acted as the negative party, since he warned the parties about what to avoid doing wrong.
B
Lorenzo acted as the neutral party, since he offered evidence disproving the resolution.
C
Anita acted as the affirmative party, since she offered evidence supporting the resolution.
D
The teacher acted as the moderator, since she did not offer any evidence during the debate.
Explanation
The affirmative party supports the resolution, while the negative party argues against it. Anita spoke in support of the resolution, and Lorenzo tried to prove her wrong, so Anita was the affirmative party. The teacher announced the winner, but the description does not say she managed the debate, which is the moderator’s role.
