Answer:

D. effective, because it includes facts from a credible source.

Explanation:

The author uses facts from the CDC. The CDC is considered a credible source because it is a government organization that bases it's decisions on scientific research. Option C is incorrect because we don't know if it is addressing a counterclaim. there isn't enough information in this excerpt for us to know.

When participating in a group discussion, a good group member maintains a balance between a). Speaking and listening. b). Summar
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

When participating in a group discussion, a good group member maintains a balance between:

a) Speaking and listening

<em>The point of a discussion is to interchange ideas about a specific topic. Therefore, one needs to speak in order to add to the discussion but; it is also important to know when to be quiet and simply listen. A good listener pays attention to what others are saying, this might include taking notes. However, taking notes does not necessarily contribute to a discussion. In a discussion whenever one speaks one needs to back up one's claims with facts and in the end, it is necessary to summarize the main ideas. Nevertheless, summarizing is not a key factor of a good group member that participates in a discussion. </em>
