Question

Jamie is writing an editorial for her school newspaper. The school lunch policy bans sugary foods such as cookies, cakes, and chocolate milk from student lunches. Jamie argues that sweet treats should be offered in addition to nutritious foods. She says that sweet treats should be allowed because they are made using sugar, and everyone likes sugar. The school administrators prefer to provide students with apples, grapes, or oranges, which are healthy, nutritious choices.

How does the bandwagon appeal affect the editorial?
It improves the editorial by showing that most students agree with Jamie.
It improves the editorial by using straightforward facts to support an argument.
It weakens the editorial, because bandwagon appeal assumes that something is correct because it is popular.
It weakens the editorial, because bandwagon appeal is best used when the claim is straightforward.

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

I will have to go with it and weaken it because just because the bandwagon appeal works on some works, this is not helping because it doesn't give evidence as to why everyone should be given the option to have a sugary treat.
