Answer 2

The argument is adequately supported with examples from Indian culture that the author and her daughter have shared with others.

The author could have included statistics about how learning about different cultures benefits communities to strengthen the argument.

Step-by-step explanation:

To reinforce this idea, the author uses her own experience, showing examples of how Indian culture was educational in her and her daughter's life.
