Read the two arguments. First, identify the similar claim in both passages. Then, explain which argument is more effective
in supporting that claim and why. Make sure you include specific references to each argument
when developing your response.
Passage
Argument 1:
One thing's for sure: We don't want to be caught unprepared the way we were last winter. Before
November rolls around, Mountain City needs more heavy equipment to clear the roads and keep
our drivers and pedestrians safe. During the winter season last year, consumers flocked to the
Mountain City Mall in record numbers. This included many people from the surrounding towns
of Mitchell and Pike, and studies show that those two towns are home to notoriously bad
drivers. Keeping the roads clear will ensure we're all much safer.
Argument 2:
Mountain City needs to purchase more snow plows and snow-removal equipment. Over the last
two winters, we all saw how the snow piled up because the city wasn't able to remove it. Two of
the four main streets that cross the city were blocked for well over two months. In addition,
traffic accidents nearly doubled last winter, and according to safety officer Rich Daddy, "the vast
majority of the new winter accidents were because of snow." With an even more severe winter
predicted by forecasters for this year, it's time to get the equipment we desperately need.

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
