Argument 1: Undocumented immigrants represent large communities in many major U.S. cities. In cities where they fear being interrogated due to their immigration status, they are 70 percent less likely to cooperate with police when a crime occurs. Thus, cities with sanctuary policies are safer for their residents, whether they are legal U.S. citizens or undocumented people.

Question

Argument 2: Imagine living in fear of being returned to a dangerous situation simply for communicating with law enforcement. How likely would you be to report a crime if you witnessed it? Now imagine yourself as a resident of a city where a large number of people are afraid to report crimes. Would you feel safe? Does this show you how sanctuary policies make cities safer?

Answer 1

The two correct answers that compare the first argument to the second argument in establishing a journalistic style are:

1. It provides facts and statistics as evidence.
2. It has a clearly stated claim.

The first argument emphasizes facts and statistics to support the claim about the safety of cities with sanctuary policies, while it also clearly articulates the main point. In contrast, the second argument relies more on hypothetical scenarios and emotional appeals without using statistical evidence or a distinct claim.
