Tori is writing a blog with the controlling idea that it’s better for people’s health and the local economy if they fish locally.

What should she do if she discovers something in her notes that doesn’t support the controlling idea?

A.
Choose a text structure.
B.
Eliminate the information.
C.
Keep and include the information.
D.
Use the information to come up with broad categories.

C. Keep and include the information.

It is important to have a balanced perspective and consider all relevant information when writing a blog or any other piece of writing. Even if a piece of information does not support the controlling idea, it can still be valuable to include it in order to provide a comprehensive view and address possible counterarguments. This helps to present a more persuasive and well-reasoned argument.

B. Eliminate the information.

If Tori discovers something in her notes that doesn't support the controlling idea of her blog, she should consider option B - eliminate the information. This is because the controlling idea is the main point or argument of her blog, and including contradictory information could weaken her argument or confuse her readers. By eliminating the information that doesn't align with her controlling idea, Tori can ensure that her blog stays focused and coherent.
