Question

Read the passage.

I think schools should no longer have football teams. Football is a dangerous sport. Everybody knows that it has caused countless concussions. Therefore, it should be banned in schools.

Does this passage provide sufficient evidence to support the claim that football is a dangerous sport?

1.No, because the author provides only one detail to support the claim.
2.Yes, because the author provides a well-documented detail to support the claim.
3.No, because the author provides an opinion to support the claim.
4.Yes, because the author provides an argument to support the claim.

Answer 1

The passage doesn't sufficiently support the Author's claim

The reason why it doesn't sufficiently support the author's claim is because it only provides one claim with little proof. They should have at least three claims with proper citations/evidence.
