Question

essment to review what youve learned. it will not count toward your grade text 1: online spaces that allow people in local communities to gift unneeded items to one another are growing in popularity—but how do they impact our communities? supporters of these groups explain that the lack of a middleman in this type of giving helps cut down on monetary and time costs for everyone. with just a few clicks and a quick handoff, community members can find what they need or get rid of what they dont need—all for free. critics of these systems explain that this kind of convenience comes with risks. one risk is personal safety, as participants might share their home addresses with strangers in order to exchange items. additionally, the owner of a secondhand store pointed out that the rise of these groups has hurt their business and could eventually constrain their ability to serve community members who are not comfortable or knowledgeable about online groups. regardless of the mixed impact, these groups have arrived and continue to grow in use and popularity nationwide. use the two texts to answer the question. which text structure is used in text 2? (1 point) claims, counterclaims, and evidence cause and effect problem and solution compare and contrast check answer remaining attempts 3

Explanation:

To determine the text structure of Text 2 (even though Text 2 isn't fully shown, we analyze Text 1 and the options). The "claims, counterclaims, and evidence" structure involves presenting a claim (supporters' view), a counterclaim (critics' view), and evidence for both. Text 1 has supporters' claim (cost - cutting), critics' counterclaim (risks like safety and business impact), with evidence (quick handoff, sharing addresses, business hurt). The other options: cause - effect focuses on why something happens and its result (not here), problem - solution presents a problem and how to solve it (no solution here), compare - contrast focuses on similarities/differences (not just that, as there are claims and counterclaims with evidence). So the correct structure is claims, counterclaims, and evidence.

Answer:

A. claims, counterclaims, and evidence
