A student is writing a letter to the editor for the local newspaper about whether the town should buy new picnic tables or new swings for the park. The student wants to revise the letter to make sure it clearly shows the connections among claims, reasons, and evidence included in the
letter. Read the draft of the student's letter and complete the task that follows.
As much as I enjoy using the swings at the park, I think the town should invest in some new picnic tables. For one thing more people will make use of
the picnic tables than the swings. While you do see some adults swinging, it is mostly young people. I think the upgrade to the park should be something
people of all ages can enjoy.
Second, the picnic tables really do need to be replaced more than the swings do xcept for a little wear and tear, the swings are still in pretty good
condition. The picnic tables are another story. Several of them are damaged. The one my family used the last time we were at the park was wobbly, and
a large chunk was broken off one of the benches.
Now, select the phrase below that would best illustrate the connection between the two underlined sentences in the letter:
A. As an example,
B. In the meantime,
C. To sum up
D. Without a doubt,
