The Chicago Cubs are a baseball team based in Chicago, Illinois. The team has a longer history than most other professional teams—including basketball, football, and hockey. What most sets them apart from other professional sports franchises, however, is that the Chicago Cubs have had the longest championship drought of any franchise in all professional sports. In fact, the last time the Chicago Cubs won a World Series was in 1908. They are often referred to as The Cubbies or as The Lovable Losers by their significant national fan following.

Some networks allow you to download, or share, copyrighted music free of charge. For some, this seems like a great idea. Why go all the way down to the local CD store when you can get the same music online with just a few clicks around the Web? One would be wise, however, not to fall into this trap. Stealing is stealing, whether you are shoplifting a CD from a store, or stealing music from an online site. Don’t you become one of the unfortunate. Breaking piracy laws can get you into serious trouble. Just as important, if you respect these artists enough to listen to their music, you should respect them enough not to steal from them.

Which statement best shows that the author is trying to persuade the reader?

• A."For some, this seems like a great idea."

• B. "Most sites where this activity takes place do so without the permission of the musicians and record labels who have worked hard to create the songs."

• Just as important, if you respect these artists enough to listen to their music, you should respect them enough not to steal from them.

• Don’t you become one of the unfortunate.
