Read these paragraphs and answer the question that follows:

In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people's lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves.
Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community.
Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all.
Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others. They are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. In return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens.

A new law is being considered that would increase sales tax on junk food and soda. For a school project, Zach's health teacher assigned an argumentative essay about
this topic.
Which of the following demonstrates an introductory paragraph that maintains a formal style appropriate for Zach's argumentative essay?
We live in America and should be able to choose what clothes we wear, what car we drive, and what food we eat. I ain't going to pay extra for the food I eat. They can't
do that, can they? We should have freedom to do and eat what we want without having to pay more for It.
America Is a country that offers a lot of free thinking and cholces. As a citizen of this country, I should be allowed to chill when I come home from school and eat my
O favorite foods. I also eat other healthy stuff too, but there are just times when me and my friends want something different. I eat vegetables for snacks too, but a few chips
aren't going to hurt anyone.
America is built up on the foundation of freedom and independence. Just as the Founding Fathers made the country free, each individual person has freedom and choice as
O well. Included in this freedom is the ability to choose what to eat. This cholce should not be motivated by the Imposition of an increase in sales tax. Even though increasing
sales tax on junk food and soda may cause people to eat healthier, it should be the free choice of the consumer what he or she purchases.
I am not sure that increasing sales tax on junk foods would be a good thing. Many people would continue to eat all of the bad things that they eat now, but they will just
o pay more to do it. It is not fair at all to force healthier foods on people by raising prices. Some people are totally fine with the way that they eat, and who are we to make them
change their ways?

Read the passage.

Which line is the BEST example of the author creating tension?


Select one:

Then he remembered what followed that evening. It was decided that the young man should spend the years of his captivity under the strictest supervision in one of the lodges in the banker’s garden. It was agreed that for fifteen years he should not be free to cross the threshold of the lodge, to see human beings, to hear the human voice, or to receive letters and newspapers.

What was the object of that bet? What is the good of that man’s losing fifteen years of his life and my throwing away two million? Can it prove that the death penalty is better or worse than imprisonment for life? No, no. It was all nonsensical and meaningless. On my part it was the caprice of a pampered man, and on his part simple greed for money…

He was allowed to have a musical instrument and books, and was allowed to write letters, to drink wine, and to smoke. By the terms of the agreement, the only relations he could have with the outer world were by a little window made purposely for that object.

The agreement provided for every detail and every trifle that would make his imprisonment strictly solitary, and bound the young man to stay there exactly fifteen years, beginning from twelve o’clock of November 14, 1870, and ending at twelve o’clock of November 14, 1885.
