I am a father who is helping his daughter pay off her
student loan of $50,000. That is a lot of money,
however, it is a drop in the student-loan bucket that
currently holds over $1 trillion of student debt. In fact,
44 million Americans currently owe money on their
student loans-a major problem. Without a solution,
young adults entering the workforce will do so
knowing that their paychecks will be significantly less
due to the need to repay their student loans. The
government must work to change this.
How does the writer best use evidence to support the
claim? Select three options.
A. The writer uses empirical evidence by including
specific data about student debt and loans.
B. The writer uses empirical evidence by referring to
the amount of money that his daughter and her
friends owe in student debt.
C. The writer uses logical evidence by claiming that his
daughter owes a significant amount of money.
D. The writer uses logical evidence by explaining a
reasonable theory about paychecks being less.
E. The writer uses anecdotal evidence by sharing a
personal connection to the student debt problem.
F. The writer uses anecdotal evidence by discussing
how his daughter's debt is more than his was.
