Argument 1: The Cuban embargo hurts the American economy. A study by the Cuba Policy Foundation has shown that the annual cost in terms of economic output exceeds $4 billion. Lifting the embargo would result in the creation of at least 6,000 new jobs for Americans, especially in the agricultural sectors. Argument 2: Emilia Hernandez, a second-generation Cuban American, makes the trip from Hialeah, Florida to Havana to visit her grandparents once a year. While this trip should require little more than a flash of her passport and an easy-peasy one-hour flight, it instead poses an annual headache for Ms. Hernandez. The fact that Americans can't even visit their family members without a massive ordeal shows why this embargo needs to be lifted. Question Use the passage to answer the question.

The two correct answers that establish a formal journalistic style in the first argument compared to the second argument are:

  1. It uses a third-person perspective.
  2. It provides facts and statistics as evidence.

The first argument is more formal and structured, utilizing data and a third-person point of view to present its case, whereas the second argument takes a more personal and anecdotal approach.
