Answer: Sean is not an effective speaker because he is disrespectful of others.
Although passion and decisiveness are important when fighting for a cause you care about, being disrespectful is not a good quality. When someone uses forceful language or interrupts, he is not letting others listen to counterclaims. This is a big problem as it limits the exchange of ideas. Moreover, someone who is disrespectful can be intimidating, which reduces everybody's participation in the debate.
The correct answer is A.
In Wright's "The Man Who Was Almost a Man," a seventeen year old, wants to buy a gun to get the respect he feels he deserves and to show that he is no longer a child.
However, when he has to ask money to buy the gun, he decides to ask his mother instead of his father because he knows his father will immediately say no.
This reflects that Dave and his father do not have a close relationship since Dave doesn't feel that his father would listen to him and consider his request.
The statement which best describes the mistake the writer makes in the paragraph is the following one:
The writer loses focus and shifts to another topic.
He starts off by pointing out the overall benefits of exercising, and supports his idea by also giving examples of activities people should engage in. However, focus is lost when the writer begins to address the importance of a balanced diet to the body. That would require a new paragraph.
