Question

read the paragraph from a writers argument essay in support library funding.
\im sad to see the bookmobile go,\ said ms. tomlinson, \because it brings the library to people who find it hard to come to us.\ these people include disadvantaged children and migrant workers on the citys west side, as well as many senior citizens in nursing homes.
the paragraph provides support for the claim that library funding should not be cut because it provides important services to the community.
which statement could the writer add to the paragraph to provide additional logical and relevant support for the claim?
◯ bookmobiles also provide access to other types of outreach, like health and career services, to people who might not otherwise know of these services.
◯ the librarys bookmobile program deserves more funding than any other library service.

Explanation:

The goal is to find a statement that logically supports the claim that library funding (specifically for bookmobiles) should not be cut because it provides key community services. The first option expands on the bookmobile's value by highlighting it connects underserved groups to critical additional services, directly reinforcing the idea of its important community role. The second option makes an unsubstantiated, comparative claim that does not add relevant, logical support to the core argument about the bookmobile's necessary community services.

Answer:

Bookmobiles also provide access to other types of outreach, like health and career services, to people who might not otherwise know of these services.
