The idea of life on Mars appeared at the end of the 19th century after the Italian astronomer and director of the observatory in Milan, Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli, discovered a network of fine lines,
which he called "canals," on the planet's surface. Also on the Martian surface, Schiaparelli observed
large dark areas, which he called "oceans." Dark areas of smaller size he named "lakes," and light yellow
areas he named "continents."
The discovery of Schiaparelli attracted the attention of many astronomers. Using powerful telescopes,
they managed to discover on the Martian surface many canals that always linked seas or lakes. In 1906,
assuming that the canals on Mars did exist, American astronomer Percival Lowell put forward a theory
that attempted to explain their origin. According to this theory, the canals were built by Martians to
transport water from polar to arid areas. Schiaparelli and Lowell observed that the Martian surface
changes with the seasons and suggested that this may be related to vegetation.

The arctic national wildlife refuge is home to caribou, moose, musk oxen, wolves, foxes, grizzlies, polar bears and migratory birds. leaders in the oil industry believe the refuge is the perfect site for the “environmentally sensitive exploration” of oil. environmentalists are wondering: what will become of the wildlife? president george w. bush, oil-industry leaders and others believe that americans will benefit from the oil that lies under the snow-filled surface of the refuge. in their opinion, the oil will reduce high fuel prices and decrease our need for oil from other countries. i believe the cost of such drilling is too high. i agree with environmentalists who fear that drilling will disturb the migration of more than 130,000 caribou. each spring, the caribou travel 400 miles to give birth on the coastal plain. in this area of the refuge, there are fewer predators. in addition, experts say that the oil in the area adds up to less than a six-month supply. is such a small amount of oil worth the risk drilling poses to these animals? americans are the largest consumers of oil. instead of drilling for oil, we should decrease our need for foreign oil simply by using less. we must all work together to cut back on the oil we use in order to preserve the wildlife of the arctic national wildlife refuge. what type of argument is used in this paragraph? i believe the cost of such drilling is too high. i agree with environmentalists who fear that drilling will disturb the migration of more than 130,000 caribou. each spring, the caribou travel 400 miles to give birth on the coastal plain. in this area of the refuge, there are fewer predators. in addition, experts say that the oil in the area adds up to less than a six-month supply. is such a small amount of oil worth the risk drilling poses to these animals? a. appeal to emotion c. appeal to logic b. bandwagon d. none of the above select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d
