Question

PLEASE HELP!!!

In sentence 14 (reproduced below), the writer wants to include a piece of relevant evidence to help convince readers to accept the research of the Congressional Budget Office as credible.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which conducts analyses, estimated that raising the minimum wage to $10.10 would mean that businesses would spend an extra $15 billion in salaries and, as a result, cut 500,000 jobs to cover the cost.
Which of the following versions of the underlined portion of sentence 14 best accomplishes this goal?

A.(as it is now)
B. a group that has a long history of performing investigative studies since its founding in 1975
C. a nonpartisan organization known for conducting impartial economic analyses since 1975

Answer 1

Answer: The following versions of the underlined portion of senence 14 that best accomplishes this goal is C. a nonpartisan organization known for conducting impartial economic analyses since 1975.

Explanation: Option C best accomplishes the goal of convincing readers to accept the research of the Congressional Budget Office as credible because it emphasizes the impartial and unbiased nature of the organization. By stating that the CBO is a nonpartisan organization known for conducting impartial economic analyses, the writer is highlighting its credibility and reputation, which will help to convince readers to accept its findings. This option is better than option A, which only mentions the CBO's function as an organization that conducts analyses, and option B, which only mentions its history but not its reputation for impartiality.
