An author claims that "Athletes caught using performance-enhancing drugs should be sentenced to prison." The author provides the following reason as support:

In 2013, the TV show Sport-Zone surveyed 2,000 athletes. 73 percent admitted knowing a teammate who took performance-enhancing drugs. Huang Kroll, a spokesperson for the International Olympic Committee, was interviewed during the program. "Using illegal substances to gain an advantage is a huge issue," he explained. "Unless stronger laws are passed—laws that result in prison rather than suspension from competition—the problem will continue to grow."

Which choice best describes the reason the author provides?

A.It is effective. It supports the claim clearly and logically.
B.It is irrelevant. It discusses a fact that is off topic and does not support the claim.
C.It is unreliable. It does not give any details to prove that the source can be trusted.
D.It is unverified. It does not cite a source to show where the information was located.

In argumentative text and speeches for a reason to be effective it needs to directly address the claim and besides this, explain it and prove it by using a reliable source that includes statistics, quotations, reference to other studies, among others and by following a structure that connects logically to the claim. In the case presented the claim is that "Athletes caught using performance-enhancing drugs should be sentenced to prison" and this has been supported by including a refers to a survey carried out by a the TV show Sport-zone about the athletes that use performance-enhancing rules and the sanctions this implies that includes statistics but also the words of an expert in the topic. Because of this, this reason is effective because it does not explain and supports the claim, but also it proves it in a clear and logical way and by using a reliable source.

Answer:

A. is the correct awnser i feel that you sould know.

Explanation:

this one only makes sece if it does not read the lesson on this one please it will help a lot acully i will give you a lesson.

You understand the basics of the argumentative process.

You know to begin by examining a question and choosing a side. You know how to write a claim that clearly states your perspective.

If you can complete these steps, any argument will be off to a terrific start!

Sadly, a terrific start does not always lead to success. A claim is only as good as the information that follows.

Without effective support, an argument will crash and burn immediately. A claim without research to back it up has no power. It will not convince anyone to change an opinion and take action.Picture yourself preparing an argument. You likely have a few ideas in your head that helped you chose a side.

To write an effective argument, you need something more. You need well-researched facts that are difficult to refute.

An effective argumentative essay presents two or more reasons why readers should agree with a claim. Each reason is discussed in its own paragraph in the body of the essay. Each reason is supported by evidence from credible sources.
