1) read this excerpt of a speech that hoda is writing about the topic of voting age.

i think all children should be able to vote at age 13. i’d like to be able to vote in the next presidential election. in cultures of the past, people were considered adults at age 13, and today’s children are even smarter than children of the past.

which rebuttal best addresses the counterclaim that “children at age 13 should not vote” and belongs in the blank space in hoda’s speech?

people who say children should not have a say in who serves in our government do not truly respect children.
some children may not be ready to vote, but children like me, who love politics, are!
adults can vote but a large percentage of them do not use this privilege that they have.
if all the children in the world were able to vote, i think we’d have a much better world.

2) read the excerpt from "the girl who silenced the world for five minutes."

in my country, we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, buy and throw away, and yet northern countries will not share with the needy. even when we have more than enough, we are afraid to lose some of our wealth, afraid to share.
in canada, we live the privileged life, with plenty of food, water and shelter -- we have watches, bicycles, computers and television sets.words in this excerpt that create a tone of judgment are a) "waste" and "afraid"
b) "buy" and "throw away"

c) "watches" and "bicycles"

d) "privileged" and "plenty"

Answer:

A. People who say children should not have a say in who serves in our government do not truly respect children.

This is the best rebuttal to the counterclaim. Hoda's previous point is that thirteen-year-olds should be able to vote. Her subsequent point is that children in the past were allowed to do so because they were considered adults. Therefore, this phrase would fit in between because it states that adults who refuse do not actually respect children.

A. "Waste" and "afraid"

In this excerpt, Suzuki is adopting a tone of judgement. She is telling Canadians that they have a lot, and that they waste it. Moreover, they are afraid of sharing these resources with others. The girl adopts this tone through the use of words that pass judgement, such as "waste" and "afraid."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
