I just don't see how we could possibly consider selling the cabin that Grandpa built by hand. What price could we put on his sweat? How can we cash in our many memories of spending summers there? Most of all, how can we rob our own children of this unique family tradition? Passage 2: If we choose to keep
Grandpa's cabin, we will have to invest a considerable amount of money and work into it. The roof has been leaking for years, and the electrical system is not up to code. And now that our generation is having children of our own, the cabin is not large enough to fit our entire family for get-togethers anyway. Which statement best compares the ways that the two arguments use appeals?​

B

Explanation:

I WAS SITTING IN a taxi, wondering if I had overdressed for the evening, when I looked out the  window and saw Mom rooting through a Dumpster. It was just after dark. A blustery March wind  whipped the steam coming out of the manholes, and people hurried along the sidewalks with their  collars turned up. I was stuck in traffic two blocks from the party where I was heading.  Mom stood fifteen feet away. She had tied rags around her shoulders to keep out the spring chill and  was picking through the trash while her dog, a black­and­white terrier mix, played at her feet. Mom's  gestures were all familiar—the way she tilted her head and thrust out her lower lip when studying items  of potential value that she'd hoisted out of the Dumpster, the way her eyes widened with childish glee  when she found something she liked.

Explanation:

a or c is the only logical ones u should be able to disregard b and d.

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader
