12. the second passage would be the best for the student to use. one reason is that the second paragraph uses facts, while the first has opinions witch shouldn't be used in informative writing. opinions can make informative writings bias meaning the facts can be in the favor of the writers opinion. informative writing should have facts to make the writing more informative and true.
13. no answer, based on personnel experience
14. Benjamin should rethink his sources because these sources can be changed a lot. Movies usually change the story to make them more entertaining to the people watching. his neighbor wouldn't be a great source either because if WWI was in 1914 and its 2022 now, the story would 108 years old and if its that old, at least on thing would have been forgotten or changed in those years.

Have you ever seen a sea turtle, whale, shark, or dolphin? Even if you have only seen pictures online, you can see how cute all of these creatures are. Well, they are in danger. So many of them are killed every year because of plastic waste. From people throwing away single-use water bottles to companies using a ton of plastic to make their products, we can all do better. Scientists are finding creatures like fish and sea birds with their stomachs filled with indigestible plastic. We have to change this, starting today!
Oceans cover 71 percent of Earth’s surface, and they are where most of Earth’s water comes from. Because of this, they are one of our greatest natural resources. Unfortunately, around 8 million metric tons of plastic enters our oceans each year. We all need to do more to save our oceans from this type of pollution. Fortunately, there are groups like the Ocean Conservancy, Oceana, and the Lonely Whale Foundation. They are all dedicated to helping this issue.
A student is researching the impact of plastic waste. Write a paragraph that compares and contrasts the two passages. Explain which passage would be better for the student to use and why.
(4 points)
The second passage may be better for the student to use because it provides more comprehensive information about the issue. It provides context for the importance of the oceans, how much plastic enters them, and mentions three organizations dedicated to protecting the ocean from pollution. The first passage might be a good introduction and call-to-action, but the second passage provides more information for research purposes.
