Answer 1

Here are the answers:

Question 1
- Anecdotal

Drawing evidence line
- Mikayla checks the accuracy (or credibility/reliability) of statistics and facts.

Mikayla’s research
- This is mixed-methods (multimodal): she’s using visual, textual, and quantitative sources (likely a mix of primary and secondary sources).

Question 3 (match the fallacies)
- rushing to make a conclusion before gathering adequate evidence → hasty generalization
- trying to prove a point using only personal experience or an individual example → anecdotal argument
- falsely presenting an argument as having only two choices and ignoring other possibilities → either/or
- illogically concluding that something will lead to something else without gathering enough support → slippery slope

Question 4
- Wolves provide both ecological and economic benefits to society.

Question 5
- “As a result,” (the transition that best connects the sentences).
