Question

Please help!

Read the following argument made by a speaker at a parent-teacher conference:
“I’m a bank manager and parent of two high school students, so I know just how important financial literacy is for teenagers. College students today are graduating with an average student debt of $24,800, yet only 1 in 5 high schools nationwide are providing any type of financial education. It’s time for Springville High to start offering its students financial education that is personal, practical, and principled.”
Which is the most effective characteristic of this argument?
A. The citation of experts in the field of finance.
B. The use of emotional words to trigger a response.
C. The comparison between high school and college.
D. The appeal to logic, common sense, and fact.

Answer 1

I think the answer is D. Good luck :)

Answer 2

D because it gives it away when the story tells this: "It’s time for Springville High to start offering its students financial education that is personal, practical, and principled.”
