3. The author of this passage is considering deleting sentence 9. Should they do so? (RIS) a. Yes, because it negatively affects the author's argument by including a personal

b. No, because it adds to the argument in a meaningful way by letting the reader
know what the author has experienced. Human experiences are good for

c. Yes, because the passage is not talking about signs at local grocery stores and
personal advertisements. This sentence is off topic and needs to be deleted to help
