Question

You are writing a body paragraph of an argumentative essay about public libraries. You are arguing that your town should build a new public library.
abc or d
Which supporting detail would be most relevant to add to the paragraph?

Our town should build a new public library because it can help all people access technology. Some libraries have special tools to make it easier for people with disabilities to use technology. As a result, all people could search for jobs, do homework, and be part of the online world. Overall, building a library would allow people to use free technology to complete important everyday tasks.
A new public library would also allow people who do not have their own devices to access computers for free.
New technology is expensive to purchase and might reduce the new library’s budget for books and other materials.
Completing homework is essential for students’ success because it reinforces skills learned during school.
A new public library could become a community center, providing a place for book clubs and kids’ activities.

Answer 1

A. "A new public library would also allow people who do not have their own devices to access computers for free."

Reason: it directly supports the paragraph’s main claim about improving access to technology by showing how the library would help people who lack personal devices.
