Max wants his town to start a neighborhood watch. He decides to give a speech at the next town hall meeting explaining why it should start a neighborhood watch. Max decided to begin his speech with this sentence:
The town has recently been hit by ten incidents of vandalism, and creating a neighborhood watch could help stop this kind of crime.
Is this an appropriate opening sentence for a argumentative purpose?
