Answer:  People can get very emotional about political issues...[and] that kind of emotional intensity can short circuit clear thinking at times.

Explanation:  this counters the argumewnt that the voting age should be lowered.

The author's first claim and an opposing claim is that politics may elicit strong emotions in people, and sometimes those strong emotions might make it difficult to think clearly.

The major point that an author is attempting to make in a literary work is expressed in their claim. The textual evidence substantiates the claim. The assertion must be unambiguous and backed up by data and proof.

The author's main argument, or claim, is what he or she wants the reader to do, think, or believe after reading the text. The evidence that underlies and supports the logic on which the claim is based is known as the content.

Therefore, the author's first claim is that people may feel strongly about politics, and these feelings may occasionally make it difficult to think logically.

The assailants also went after local white reporters, destroying cameras, film, and a microphone. Right on schedule, a detective announced, “Your fifteen minutes is up . . . The police are coming.” The attackers slipped away. When Connor was asked why it took so long for his men to drive the four blocks from the police station to the bus station, he explained that they were all at home celebrating Mother’s Day.

Read the excerpt from a speech that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill made shortly after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. What is Churchill’s intention with this part of the speech?

This is a strange Christmas Eve. Almost the whole world is locked in deadly struggle, and, with the most terrible weapons which science can devise, the nations advance upon each other. Ill would it be for us this Christmastide if we were not sure that no greed for the land or wealth of any other people, no vulgar ambition, no morbid lust for material gain at the expense of others, had led us to the field. Here, in the midst of war, raging and roaring over all the lands and seas, creeping nearer to our hearts and homes, here, amid all the tumult, we have tonight the peace of the spirit in each cottage home and in every generous heart. Therefore we may cast aside for this night at least the cares and dangers which beset us, and make for the children an evening of happiness in a world of storm. Here, then, for one night only, each home throughout the English-speaking world should be a brightly-lighted island of happiness and peace.

A.
to remind people about the evils surrounding them
B.
to promote happiness and peace during the Christmas season
C.
to encourage more support for the war
D.
to push for the United States and Britain to become one country
