Read the excerpt from "children of the drug wars." this would allow life-or-death decisions to be made within hours by homeland security officials, even though studies have shown that border patrol agents fail to adequately screen mexican children to see if they are being sexually exploited by traffickers or fear persecution, as the agents are supposed to do. why would they start asking central american children key questions needed to prove refugee status? the united states expects other countries to take in hundreds of thousands of refugees on humanitarian grounds. countries neighboring syria have absorbed nearly 3 million people. jordan has accepted in two days what the united states has received in an entire month during the height of this immigration flow—more than 9,000 children in may. the united states should also increase to pre-9/11 levels the number of refugees we accept to 90,000 from the current 70,000 per year and, unlike in recent years, actually admit that many. which elements of the excerpt indicate that it is an editorial? select two options. evidence to support an opinion an unbiased view of events words with strong connotations facts and statistics a story-like presentation

The correct answers are options one and four.

An editorial is an argumentative text which usually explains, analyzes and evaluates important events. It is a institutional opinion or commentary according to the ideological view of the media. As a consequence, the excerpt displays evidence to support an opinion, which is based on facts and statistics. For example, the editors mention the number of immigrants Jordan, Syria and The USA have received in order to justify their claim about further development of American immigration policies.

I just took the test and the answers are 1 and 3.

1.evidence to support an opinion

3.words with strong connotations
