This is one proposal that will definitely anger some people: Everyone should have a pet. There should be a law that makes sure everyone will get a pet or give a legitimate reason why they cannot. There are almost infinite arguments to favor owning animals, so not all of them can be listed. The small number of comments against owning pets don't even need to be included.
Which of the following questions would help a reader better approach the point in the first paragraph?
A. Why does the author's claim anger people?
B. How is bias visible in the first paragraph?
C. Which pet is best?
D. Which people should not own pets?
A or B? I think B.
I agree.
You're on the right track in considering options A and B. Both questions could potentially help a reader better approach the point in the first paragraph. However, in this case, option B is the more appropriate choice.
Question B, "How is bias visible in the first paragraph?" allows the reader to critically analyze the author's viewpoint and understand any potential biases or personal opinions that may have influenced the proposal. By identifying bias, readers can better assess the argument's strengths and weaknesses.
Option A, "Why does the author's claim anger people?" is also a valid question, but it is specific to understanding the emotional reaction of some individuals towards the proposal. While it may provide insight into opposition to the idea, it does not directly address the approach to the point in the paragraph.
Therefore, your choice of B is correct!
