Claim 1: If you have ever eaten anything that has grown in the ground, you’ve almost certainly eaten genetically modified organisms. Genetic engineering has been
integral to the human diet for thousands of years, and it’s given us a wider and better variety of foods. Adapting this technology on a wider scale will allow that very
positive trend to continue.
Claim 2: Over 2,000 scientific studies performed worldwide have shown that genetically modified crops are safe and that they have the potential to enrich the
human diet nutritionally, lower the price of food, and end food insecurity in a world where the growing population continues to place a strain on resources.
A)
Use the passage to answer the question.
Compare the two claims above. How do these claims differ from one another?
(1 point)
Claim 1 relies solely on anecdotal evidence, while Claim 2 uses a wider range of supporting evidence.
Claim 1 establishes an informal, conversational style through the use of contractions and point of view.
Claim 1 takes an affirmative position toward genetically modified foods, while Claim 2 takes a negative position.
Claim 1 establishes a formal, academic style through the use of complex syntax and advanced vocabulary.
Claim 1: Scientific studies have shown that genetic engineering poses a grave risk to a plant’s genetic integrity. When this integrity is disturbed, the outcome is
unpredictable. Dormant toxin levels can be activated in the plant, resulting in permanent damage to entire crops. This phenomenon occurred in StarLink corn, a
product engineered to resist pests and that triggered life-threatening reactions in humans who consumed it.
Claim 2: Childhood blindness is a huge problem in developing countries. Nutritional deficiencies are usually to blame. That’s bad—horrible, in fact—but it can be
avoided. Researchers have developed a variety of rice known as Golden Rice, which produces high levels of beta carotene. Beta carotene’s a godsend when it
comes to this terrible problem, a thing of the past.
