Question

Unlike the author of Passage $1$, the author of Passage $2$ develops an argument by relying on.

• A. Personal experience
• B. Scientific observation
• C. HIstorical contextualization
• D. Statistical evidence
• E. Direct quotation

Answer 1

The correct option is A Personal experience

Where passage 1 quotes Darwin and has an overall general tone to it, the author of passage 2 makes use of personal experiences as a dog trainer to argue her point that dogs do think and reason. There are no historical contextualization or statistical evidence in passage 2. Though there are a few direct quotations, it is mostly through the author's own personal experiences that the argument is developed in passage 2. Thus A is the best answer.
