Question

Argument:

Video games are harmful to the health of people's joints and bones.

Evidence:
A study of 257 students revealed the following:
I. Serious student gamers did not get enough sleep.
II. Students experienced finger and wrist pain after using gaming devices.
III. The longer the students played games, the more their pain increased.
IV. Repetitive stress injuries were seen in 6 percent of the students studied.

Based on Kendra's argument and outline, which evidence is off topic and should be removed?

A. I
B. II
C. III
D. IV

Answer 1

A is off topic and should be removed. The other choices all describe the pain related to people’s joints and bones because of their gaming, but the first choice describes the lack of sleep players get. While this is also an issue of gaming, it does not have to do with the health of people’s joints and bones.
