storchak [24]

Answer:

<u>Sample Response: </u>The argument in favor of social media use is the stronger argument. The article claims that students do better in school when they use social media. The author gives anecdotal evidence that students use social media to discuss classwork, then uses empirical evidence to show that grades went up in a study where students used social media. The argument against social media is weak because it lacks specific evidence. The writer uses the rhetorical device of parallelism to list a variety of ill effects of social media use. However, the writer never offers any evidence for these negative effects. This writer uses the bandwagon fallacy by telling the audience that most people who want to do well do not use social media.

What is one of Edgar Allan Poe's lasting legacies?
alexgriva [62]
The correct answer is C. He opened the field of literary criticism.

Apart from being a poet and a writer during the Romantic era of American literature, Edgar Allan Poe was also a critic. As a matter of fact, while he was alive, he wasn't really famous or celebrated as an author, but rather as a critic. Only after his death did people start appreciating his art, but it was too late - he died poor.
