Question

1. in paragraph 11, how does the author acknowledge and respond to a conflicting viewpoint? a by providing the details of train travel b by explaining the benefits of plane travel c by sharing that some people would not enjoy bus travel d by describing the negatives of eating snacks while traveling

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Providing train travel details doesn’t address a conflicting viewpoint (it’s just descriptive), so eliminate.
• Option B: Explaining plane travel benefits also doesn’t acknowledge a conflicting view (it’s promoting a mode, not responding to a conflict), eliminate.
• Option C: Sharing that “some people would not enjoy bus travel” acknowledges a potential conflicting view (e.g., if the author is advocating for bus travel, this recognizes that others disagree) and responds to it by addressing the concern.
• Option D: Describing negatives of eating snacks is irrelevant to conflicting viewpoints on travel modes, eliminate.

Answer:

C. by sharing that some people would not enjoy bus travel
