Question

Read the following body paragraph from an argumentative essay.

Restaurants should have nutritional facts listed on their menus because they could help people with food allergies. According to the CDC, less than 50% of restaurant managers, servers, and food workers received training on or were aware of allergens in foods served at their restaurants. The CDC states, "Ingredient lists and recipes are important tools in reducing the risk of food allergic reactions. Customers with food allergies rely on restaurant staff to provide them with accurate information on ingredients."

Which important element of a body paragraph is missing?

A reason to support the claim
Elaborative details
Signal verbs or phrases
Transition words or phrases

Answer 1

Explanation: i got it right

Answer 2

hello! the correct answer should be D. Transition words or phrases.

transition words help to link sentences together appropriately and smoothly- depending on what the context the word is used. a transition word may be used to add onto/carry a sentence; to contrast a point being made (maybe in the use of a counterclaim); or for emphasis. this paragraph states its claim and provides a source, but is missing a key transition. a transition could be used before introducing the claim, “restaurants should have nutritional facts listed on their menus”.
