What would be the best reasoning sentence for the following claim and evidence: Video games can improve manual dexterity. Controller-based games can be great for your hands...researchers found that those who played video games were faster at performing advanced procedures and made 37 percent fewer mistakes than those who didn’t.

This shows that people who play video games can find benefits to their dexterity which might lead someone to a career (like a surgeon) where being precise is an important skill.

This shows why video games are good for kids.

Playing video games is good for your hands. Just ask 37% of kids involved.

Choose the best reasoning sentence for the following claim and evidence: The author of the article is claiming that Facebook creates a warped perception of reality and causes physical harm. One piece of evidence that supports this states, “The main reason we all ought to stop looking at Facebook is because it makes us think that the people in our lives (or virtually in our lives, anyway) are happier, more fulfilled and more successful than they probably are; which makes us feel more depressed, frustrated and unfulfilled than we probably are.”

This proves that Facebook is bad for users because they can slip into depression when they believe their life is terrible just because a Facebook friend appears to have a better life.

This evidence shows that Facebook makes people who use it depressed. If they stopped using Facebook then their lives would be perfect.

This proves that Facebook is bad for people because it causes harm.

Choose the best reasoning sentence: The internet is the greatest invention of the 21st century. In the article it states that, "without the internet and modern technology people would not have the opportunity to share ideas and thoughts with people outside their own town."

This shows that the internet has allowed technology to advance to the point that people from around the globe can connect with one another.

This explains that modern technology would not be at the level it is at today without the internet.

This proves that people's daily lives in the 21st century would not be great without the internet.

Choose the best reasoning sentence for the following claim and evidence: Reading books enhances vocabulary skills. Studies show that individuals who read regularly have a broader vocabulary than those who do not.

This shows that reading books is beneficial for vocabulary development.

This proves that reading books is the only way to improve vocabulary.

This indicates that vocabulary skills are not important.

Reorder the following.

Technology is helping advertisers reach more kids by creating a link between the item and the internet to advertise to kids.

The article states that the companies are using online games and virtual money as a way to make kids watch advertisements when they think they’re just playing games with their favorite toys (Marketing to 113).

This proves that advertisers are using technology through the use of games.

These games are actually clever ways to get kids to view advertisements for these products.

In conclusion, this shows how advertisers are using technology to target kids.
