IDENTIFY THE CLAIM. Grocery stores should eliminate disposable plastic bags because they are harmful to the environment. Critics claim that plastic bags only account for a small amount of waste and banning them wouldn't make that much of a difference. Plastic bags, though, are a major problem. Plastic bags never break down or disintegrate. They break into smaller pieces but they will always be in the landfill. Also, they are very hard to recycle so many people throw them away.

IDENTIFY THE CLAIM. Students should have to pay fees in order to play high school sports because school budgets are decreasing.

Give 2 reasons for this claim that makes the most sense: Students should be required to clean up the restrooms from top to bottom when they trash it in the schools....

because it teaches them responsibility and can prevent them from messing it up again

because the should clean up after themselves and their parents will be proud

because it is ridiculous and they are too young to cross the street by themselves

because their parents should hold their hand and it is okay to go with a friend
