A student is conducting research for an argument essay to address the question, "Why should people recycle?" Which two sources would be best to draw from to answer the question?

A) a blog entry from an activist about the results of a volunteer clean-up initiative at a local park

B) an article from a scientific journal about the effects of pollution on ocean life

C) a city website that lists the materials that one can recycle

D) a government website that describes how recycling benefits humans and the environment

B, D

Explanation:

Hello:)

In this question, they are asking us what sources we can use to back up the claims of why people should recycle.

When trying to find sources to use for an argumentative essay, it's best to use sources that are credible, truthful, and on topic. They will strengthen your claim further.

Let's go through the choices that are given to us:

A) While A seems like a good source, blog entries are not credible. They are filled with opinions and that's not the best thing to look for in an argumentative essay (opinions must be backed up with facts!). Unfortunately, this is not a credible option.

B) Scientific articles are optimal for this kinds of research and even tells us why we should recycle (because pollution is from lack of recycling and usage of proper trash bins)

C) City website is usually a government website, so it sounds credible, but for this question it tells us HOW we can recycle but doesn't answer the why.

D) Government websites are highly educational and tells us why it's good.

Therefore, two choices to use as sources are best as B and D. Hope this helped!
