Preston is writing an essay on consumerism. in this draft, how does he explain the effects of consumerism? a) the article quotes experts and statistics to support the claim. b) the article tells a story of how one family was ruined by consumerism c) the article combines humor and irony to convince readers of its claim. d) the article includes a question and answer format to explain the claim.

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader
