The writer is considering adding the sentence below immediately after sentence 1 in order to further develop the argument in the first paragraph. When I decided where to go to college, for example, I thought I had considered every factor and made the best possible choice. Should the writer add this sentence after sentence 1

Incomplete question. The options that complete the question reads:

(A) Yes, because it describes a personal experience that helps illustrate the point made in sentence.

(B) Yes, because it makes the audience feel closer to the writer by revealing information about the writer's past.

(C) Yes, because it demonstrates the writer's authority by showing how the writer overcame confirmation bias.

(D) No, because it makes the writer seem biased because it uses personal experience as support for an argument.

(E) No, because it does not clarify when this experience occurred and therefore might be irrelevant.

Answer:

(A) Yes, because it describes a personal experience that helps illustrate the point made in sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, for an argument to be valid certain supporting detail needs to be provided, which may include experiences (personal or shared) and facts.

Hence, by giving his own personal experience about going to college, the writer helps illustrate the point made in sentence 1. In other words, the reader can use the experience to get the point of what was said.
