What form of writing and what kind of supporting details best support this audience and purpose? A. flyer; details describe problem and possible solutions B. editorial; details include complaints about problem C. essay; details include complaints about problem D. newspaper article; details describe problem and possible solutions

Answer 1

Flyer seems the most appropriate choice, considering it's an attention grabber and gets the point across better than some of the other options.

Answer 2

Answer: A. flyer; details describe problem and possible solutions.

Option A is the one that is most likely to be effective in this situation. A flyer is easy to distribute, so you can reach a large audience. Moreover, it tends to be small, which means that people are more likely to read it as the text will be very short and concise. Finally, it is a good idea to include both the problems and the solutions if you want to achieve collective action.
