12. It is important to give reasons to support a claim because reasons are like evidence except reasons give more examples and statement to make the audience understand your claim. If i was a lawyer I would let my client tell the representatives what happened and then I would tell them reasons of why they should believe why they should understand the defendant needs to be put away, when you give reasons your getting them to understand your claim.

13.Formal- We Should ban plastic bottles because there harmful for the environment. Plastic Bottles can put harmful chemicals into our environment. Plastic Bottles can also effect animals because the plastic has toxic chemicals in it which can effect animals with diseases and effect reproduction. Plastic Bottles can also affect people because plastic has bisphenol A, and this chemical sweeps into the water and when we drink the water we ingest chemicals. which gives people diseases such as cancer and lead to hormonal issues.

Informal- We Should get rid of PB(plastic bottles) b/c there bad for the world. PB can put bad chem. into our world. PB can also EFX animals b/c the plastic has bad chem. in it which can EFX animals with DZ and effect reprod-. PB can also EFX people because plastic has BPA, and this chem. goes into the water and when we drink the water we gulp down chem. which gives people DZ such as CA and lead to alot of concern.

what is a claim is The statement of an argument

What is used to support a claim is evidence
What is the purpose of an argument is to share an opinion that is supported by evidence
How do counterclaim support an argument is by addressing objections with evidence
Identify a counterclaim for the following argument is the government should fund the building of public transportation systems to reduce air populations
You're welcome they should all be correct

I dont think that you guys should put a paragraph for what you wrote because if they copy the whole thing you both will get in trouble! Anyways Good Luck on your Test! <3

huge cap this is a homework help website

....What in the world is this?

@Really just cause you got a good grade in MAPS ain't proving your point, so do I have a good percentile. It's so out of topic, just cause your smart ain't a reason for anyone to not cheat, yall don't understand? And please stop acting like that makes you educated, that's like saying because I get A+ in a class for my age that I'm educated on natural disaster matters.

@Really bruhhhhhhhh the teacher is gonna be like " how do u know?" lolll

GUYS.... I FINALLY HAVE AN ANSWER FOR NUMBER 13

make sure to re-word... here u go!

My claim is that I think people should stop cutting down trees. A reason why I think that is because trees are a source of survival, for instance, we as people need trees for air, to purify our air, and fight back against climate change. trees also cool our streets and cities and provide shade, not to mention to provide for wildlife. animals need trees to store food and to sleep in. and lastly Trees filter your water, making your drinking supply cleaner and more able to depend on. As evidenced without trees, forested areas would become drier and more existent to extreme droughts. and if it rained flooding would be Very bad. Cutting trees can result in the loss of habitat for animal species. And lastly Removing trees drains the forest of portions of its canopy, which blocks the sun’s rays during the day and keeps the heat at night.
Ur welcome (✿◠‿◠)

They smell worse when they burn….. don’t they

i promise that thier right why would i lie?

also Emma its right, not write.

@TORYFROMCOBRAKIA HATER your welcome :)

@YES ITS NP I DIDNT WANT ANYONE ELSE GETTING IN TROUBLE Owo

hannah bowen is right but what the other person was saying is that number 8 has a different question for the answer, like the answer for number 8 was right for question number 9 because the system flipped the questions around

Yes it’s bad but also can be used as plagiarism. Don’t take this offense but you’re teachers have every website, so they know where u get you’re information.

As it could be for helping.

tysm the right answers i got 100%and the writing is still needs grading tysm for taking ur time to help us

ok i just got a good idea, you come up with the wording but you can make the claim about smth stupid like how some ridles help people understand life better such as this one...

Riddle: What has to be broken before you can use it?
Answer: An egg
or
Riddle: What month of the year has 28 days?
Answer: All of them
ntw i just googled these so yeah you can find some more from 101 best riddles for kids and adults. anyway hope this helps bye and have a good day!!!!!

1 - 10 first then ill give you all of my others after!!

now for the writing ones

this will take a bit so just hold on

11. It helps people understand the claim better, and helps people see how the author or creator sees the topic. It also helps the reader see the topic from another perspective.

12.
Informal: its bad to use a water bottle once.

Formal: It is very wasteful to only use a water bottle once. Water bottles are made to be used for more than 10 times so for people to just throw away a perfectly good plastic bottle, just to buy another one is just wasteful.

13. ... uuuhhhhh idk 1 sec

also here is my answer to question 13. i just finished it :D

13. Some riddles can sound weird or just funny, but some riddles can teach people more about life such as What question can you never answer yes to, are you asleep yet? Those kinds of riddles can make people notice the meaning of the riddle easier then another type of riddle such as the most common riddle that no one has been able to solve yet, what came first the chicken or the egg? Its riddles like this that can help people understand life just a hair more.

This has all the questions on my L.A unit test EXACTLY. Actually, I should stop cheating.

My claim is that I think people should stop cutting down trees. A reason why I think that is because trees are a source of survival, for instance, we as people need trees for air, to purify our air, and fight back against climate change. trees also cool our streets and cities and provide shade, not to mention to provide for wildlife. animals need trees to store food and to sleep in. and lastly Trees filter your water, making your drinking supply cleaner and more able to depend on. As evidenced without trees, forested areas would become drier and more existent to extreme droughts. and if it rained flooding would be Very bad. Cutting trees can result in the loss of habitat for animal species. And lastly Removing trees drains the forest of portions of its canopy, which blocks the sun’s rays during the day and keeps the heat at night.

ty :)

Welp this whole thing was fun and interesting to read, despite the fact that I am in 9th grade and not in 6th.

I'm going to do the test for connexus ill have the answers up in a min.

hannah on the writing ones you kept saying like efx and bma ??????

We Should get rid plastic bottles because plastic bottles have toxins like dioxins. And dioxins are .  "are a group of highly toxic chemical compounds that are harmful to the health". Plus plastic bottles have a chemical called vinyl chloride. And last time i checked when you inhale to much of vinyl chloride it can lead to death. Now if your wondering why plastic bottles aren't good for the environment hears why."80 percent of plastic water bottles end up in landfills and each bottle leaks harmful chemicals into our environment along the way as it decomposes". So for now on i hope you think twice before drinking or even throwing your plastic water bottle on the ground.

this is not for connexus... great.

no donnie don't say that don't cheat you never get ahead

Sure sure

Not to be rude but I don't have none-literal for number eight on my test-?

Should I just guess? .-.

*continue* sorry fellow peasants for my spelling

So is Hannah Bowen correct or wrong

Hanna Bowen is right.

I AM THE REAL NARUTO

I MADE THE NARUTO SERIES >:<

I think you need to stop being a prima-donna Princess because all of this cheating is WRONG and when all of you go to take ACT Aspire you are going to be BELOW average because all you is wait for the answers. By the way I have already taking test and gotten a 100% and I just come here to see is anybody from my class is written down answers on here for other people to cheat so that I can tell a teacher. Also you are hearing this from an educated person because on MAPS testing I am in the 99th percentile in math and 98 for reading so you are reading this from an educated person not lying. I am also in AOPS which is for smart people.
