An author claims that internet usage and screen time for teens should remain the same. They provide the following reason as support:

An awesome article in Kids Love Phones Magazine says there is no harm in spending all day on your phone, computer, or tablet. I completely agree! It would be heartbreaking for kids to give up something they love. It is a silly idea that grownups thought up to make themselves look smart. We do not deserve to be punished!

Which choice describes the support the author provides?

It is effective. It supports the claim clearly and logically with evidence.
It is emotional. It expresses personal feelings that cannot be backed with research.
It is irrelevant. It discusses a fact that is off topic and does not support the claim.
It is unverified. It does not cite a source to show where the information was found.

Answer:

B. It is emotional.

Step-by-step explanation:

The words heartbreaking, silly, and the phrase "we do not deserve to be punished" are all emotional and they lean towards the "phones are good" side of the argument.
