Claim 1: During summer vacation, I take a walk every day after lunch. The air is refreshing and helps me prepare for the rest of the day. I also love taking a few minutes to break up the day. I can’t imagine going without my lunchtime walk! During the school year, students should be able to take a walk outside after lunch every day.

Claim 2: Time outside promotes physical health and encourages social interaction and collaboration among students. In addition to anchoring students to the real world, research has shown that time outside leads to greater productivity and better learning outcomes. For these reasons, students should have time outside during every school day.

The correct response is:

Claim 1 uses informal and subjective language to appeal to the audience in a personal and conversational way.

This style engages the audience by sharing a personal experience and expressing emotions related to the lunchtime walk, making it relatable and inviting for readers. In contrast, Claim 2 relies more on a formal tone and research-based arguments, which may not connect with the audience on a personal level.
