Question

Which statement would be an effective conclusion for the evaluation of an article on the potential threat of
technology?
Finally, Wilson's article argues that technology is detrimental to learning because fewer students are reading for
pleasure.
O I agree with Wilson's argument. When I stopped watching videos on my phone, my grades went up, so
technology must make it more difficult to learn.
O Wilson's article states that computers, tablets, and smartphones should not be allowed in the classroom because
these devices distract students.
Therefore, Wilson's argument that technology makes it more difficult for students to concentrate is thoroughly
researched and provides ample supporting evidence.

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe the best answer to be letter D) Therefore, Wilson's argument that technology makes it more difficult for students to concentrate is thoroughly

researched and provides ample supporting evidence.

Explanation:

We can choose the option above through simple elimination. Option A is not a conclusion at all; it seems to present the final argument of the article, which means it's still part of the development. Letter B presents a "weak" personal opinion which could be a conclusion if it weren't based on personal experience instead of on the arguments offered in the article. Letter C looks more like a thesis statement than a conclusion, in the sense that is presents the topic of the article but not what can be concluded from it. Therefore, letter D seems to be the best option. That is the conclusion of a person who read the article, their evaluation of it: that it was well researched and filled with solid evidence.

Answer 2

Answer: D) Therefore, Wilson's argument that technology makes it more difficult for students to concentrate is thoroughly researched and provides ample supporting evidence.
