Why do we use the RACE strategy. Choose the BEST answer.

To completely answer questions about a text

Why is it important to "cite" textual evidence?

To use evidence from the text to prove you read it.

To use evidence from the text to support your answer.

To prove your answer is correct

Explaining your answer means ....

Adding your thoughts to what the answer means

Adding your thoughts about the text

Adding another sentence to make the answer long enough

Select the true statements below.

The first step of RACES is to restate the question.

When you restate, it is okay to change around the words so that it sounds like good English.

Usually at the end of a restating, you'll use by or because so that the rest of the sentence can answer the question.

Using pronouns like he, they, it, or those is a good idea when you restate.

Choose the best constructed response to the question. Why are cats easier to take care of than dogs?

Cats are easier to take care of than dogs because they are not very needy compared to dogs. In the article, "Cats vs. Dogs", the author talks about how cats are their own "car wash" because they can clean themselves. The article also explains why cats use a litter box instead of needing to go for walks, which gives their owner one less thing to worry about. These examples show just a couple ways cats are much easier to take care than dogs.

Cats are nicer than dogs. They don't jump on you or wake you up in the morning to take you for a walk. Cats also are not sloppy eaters. Cats are definitely nicer than dogs.

Cat are easier to take care of than dogs. For example, cats purr when you pet them and that is very comforting. They also like to rub against your leg to let you know they like you. Cats are the best!

Cats are easier to take of than dogs because they are not as needy. For example, you don't need to give them baths because they clean themselves. Cat Magazine talks about all the great things about cats like how they "seem to know when their owner needs a snuggle". Plus, dogs like to bark all the time, which is very annoying. Cats meow, but not as much. Clearly, cats are better than dogs!
