Question

Marco and Emma are discussing the best way to present a research project they did about ancient Roman aqueducts. Use the discussion to answer the question.

Which best describes what happens in the first sentence of paragraph 4?

a. Emma says something that helps the conversation because it shows how she feels
b. Emma says something that does not help the conversation because it attacks Marco himself , not his argument
c. Emma says something that does not help the conversation because she disagrees with Marco
d. Emma says something that helps the conversation because she corrects Marco's behavior.

Answer 1

To determine which option best describes what happens in the first sentence of paragraph 4, we would need to know the specific content of that sentence. However, without access to the text of the discussion between Marco and Emma, I can provide guidance on how to choose the best option based on what is typically found in discussions:

- If Emma's statement positively contributes to the conversation by providing useful input or showing understanding, then option (a) could be correct.
- If Emma's comment is a personal attack on Marco rather than addressing the argument, then option (b) would be the most suitable.
- If her disagreement is presented in a way that hinders the conversation without offering constructive feedback, then option (c) might fit.
- If she corrects Marco's behavior in a constructive way that supports the conversation, then option (d) could be the best choice.

Ultimately, the best choice depends on the specific language and intent found in that first sentence of paragraph 4. If you can provide that text, I can assist further in selecting the correct answer.
