Question

Passage 1:

It is time for the residents of West Seneca to approve a tax hike that
will allow for air conditioning in the high school. No one complains
about heating the school every day during the winter, so a simple
decrease of the school temperature in June should not be a big deal.
This is an important time of year when students must focus on final
exams, but weather conditions make it difficult to do so. Once we
overcome the expense of installing air conditioning, the cost of running
it for a few short weeks will be minor.
Passage 2:
As a student at West Seneca High School, I cannot stress enough how
uncomfortable conditions are at school during June. Students are
packed into the gym for final exams with only a few fans to circulate
the stifling air. Last year I could hardly concentrate on my tests as
beads of sweat dripped onto my desk. If the school district really cares
about us doing our best on exams, it will provide conditions in which
we can do so

Answer 1

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Passage 1 appeals to logic by giving facts about air conditioning, while passage 2 appeals to emotion by using personal experience and strong wording.
