Read the excerpt from Catching Sun Rays.
Solar energy saves money on electric bills, and it also helps our power grid. On August 14, 2003, too many people were using electricity because it was a hot day. Suddenly, all the power went out across the Northeast United States and Canada, and 55 million people were suddenly in the dark! In New York City, people had to walk miles across bridges to get home because there were no trains or subways running. It was an expensive incident for the government and industry. But if we use more solar energy, we will put less pressure on the power grid. That means fewer blackouts.
What kind of evidence does the author use to support the claim that solar energy helps the power grid? (1 point)
A. anecdotal <------------------------ Is it A?
B. expert quotation
C. statistical
D. scientific
Pls help me! I don't have too long.
Yes, Annomous. The answer is A, anecdotal.
Do you need help with another question??
Actually I do! Thx Randomized! Here it is:
Read the excerpt from Catching Sun Rays.
But there is another benefit: switching to renewable energy can create jobs. One environmental group says solar power could mean hundreds of thousands of jobs in the United States. For example, the largest solar farm on the East Coast in New York created more than 200 local construction jobs. And the farm makes enough electricity each year to power 4,500 homes!
Why does the evidence provided in the excerpt make the author's argument more effective?
It is vague.
It is specific.
It is complicated.
It is scientific.
It is most likely B or D, specific or scientific.
