Answer Even though most high schools and colleges only require taking three years of math, it is best to complete four years, because many colleges expect it, and it will help prepare you for the future college classes. I think that this would help the paragraph because it talks more into why it would help with college because work is still a big step for more kids in high school and their plans may be to get into college and this gives them help on what college expects from them to get in.
12 In 3–5 sentences, write a concluding paragraph for the essay. Be sure to include all of the necessary parts of a conclusion.
Answer As seen from the text it seems that near the end Daniel started to tell us that the games give off pleasure from gaming, but from his other details it seems like he has a strong support system in why these games are bad for the mind and sleep so my conclusion it that kids should not be on screens for more than 2 hours tops so it can help with sleep communication with parents and overall a better life.

Answer Salads appear to be my favorite food because everything else that is processed could kill you, let me explain why. First off the fast food burgers are held with high fructose corn syrup in the ketchup, pickle relish, and the hamburger bun can boost triglyceride levels, which increases the risk of heart disease. That is why I will always eat salads or nothing at fast food restaurants because it is the better choice and you have better chances of living long when you eat salads with the right dressing.
14 In 3–5 sentences, explain which statement is a claim, which is a reason, and which is evidence and in which order the statements should appear in the paragraph.
Answer I believe that Statement 2 is a claim because they are telling you that children should receive an allowance for doing chores at home
Statement 2: Children should receive an allowance for chores done at home.
Statement 1 would be the reason because it supports the claim by stating that doing chores teaches children responsibility and financial literacy.
Statement 3 would be the evidence because it provides specific examples of how receiving an allowance can benefit children, such as teaching them the value of money and the importance of budgeting.
The paragraph should start with the claim (Statement 2), followed by the reason (Statement 1), and then the evidence (Statement 3) to build a logical and convincing argument.
