What needs to change about the following argument? the monday after super bowl sunday should be a national holiday. each year, thousands of work hours are lost because americans don’t show up for work on the monday after the super bowl. too many people stay up very late and call in sick to work the next day. i always take off work on that day because i stay up late and i’m too tired the next day. instead of companies losing millions of dollars in revenue because they are understaffed, the day after super bowl should be a national holiday. the claim of this argument needs to start with, "i " it should read, "i believe the monday after super bowl sunday should be a national holiday." delete the line, "i always take off work that day because i stay up late and i'm too tired." personal testimonies are irrelevant and not credible. nothing needs to change. the conclusion needs to say, "in " the reader will not know this is the conclusion if it doesn't start with "in conclusion."

The correct answer is (The claim of this argument needs to start with, "I believe..."

It should read, "I believe the Monday after Super Bowl Sunday should be a national holiday.")

(I choose this answer on my test and it was correct)

Hope this helps! Have an awesome day! :)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

i don't know what your working on like figurative language poems etc.

but i think the answer would be an informative sentence.
