Question

1: As a member of the varsity soccer team, I oppose replacing our grass field with a turf field. This field has been the site of some of the greatest wins in our team’s history. I love the smell of our freshly mown grass when I take the field to play. It reminds me that I am part of a great soccer tradition at this school and inspires me to play my best. Passage 2: I support replacing the grass soccer field with a turf field for two reasons. First, the cost of fertilizing, seeding, mowing, and other care for a grass field is expensive. A turf field would cost half as much over five years as a grass field. Second, studies have shown that turf fields last longer and can handle more extreme forms of weather. Their drainage systems prevent field flooding and other issues with grass fields. Which statement best compares the ways that the two arguments use appeals?A.Passage 1 appeals to logic by citing facts and studies about the topic, while passage 2 appeals to authority by using personal experience and strong wording.B.Passage 1 appeals to logic by citing facts and studies about the topic, while passage 2 appeals to emotion by using personal experience and strong wording.C.Passage 1 appeals to emotion by using personal experience and strong wording, while passage 2 appeals to logic by citing facts and studies about the topic.D.Passage 1 appeals to emotion by using personal experience and strong wording, while passage 2 appeals to authority by mentioning the speaker’s position as a soccer player.

Answer 1

Answer: Your answer is C, "Passage 1 appeals to emotion by using personal experience and strong wording, while passage 2 appeals to logic by citing facts and studies about the topic"

Step-by-step explanation:

In passage 1, a soccer player uses emotional appeal. His reasoning are his personal feelings about tradition, love and pride he has in playing soccer. There are no facts to back up his answer.

In passage 2, the speaker uses soley facts. Nothing about that portion of the passage is emotionally based. They use facts about the cost of maintaining the field and how it will prevent flooding.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer would be C

Explanation: This is the answer because passage one stated the experience and tradition of the grass field. The second passage describes using facts why a turf field would be better.
