Sharil wrote an argument in favor of starting a rock-climbing club at her school as a fun and safe activity. She then came across a source claiming that rock climbers have an increased risk of developing wrist and ankle injuries because rock climbing places pressure on the joints, which can cause sprains. How can Sharil best adjust her argument based on this new information, while still keeping her claim the same? by going back through her original essay and removing every direct reference to rock climbing or rock walls by not referring to this new information in her argument and instead focusing on what she has already learned by arguing that the increased risk of wrist and ankle injuries should be ignored since it is not a serious problem by recognizing the risks but arguing that students can avoid injuries if they are careful and use the right equipment

I think that she can keep the same claim when she talks about the

+ side of the rock climbing club but you shouldn't ignore the fact about the injuries that lie behind it you should also mention it.
