1. Think about your high school. If you were to categorize the student population, what groups would
you create (examples: Band Geeks, Cheerleaders, Athletes, Sci-Fi Geeks, Goody-Goodies, etc.). What
do you think the people are like in each group?

There would be 5 group

Explanation:

In schools there is usually 5 categories of people

¨Emo kids¨ the ones that think they are dark in moody but really aren't

Athletes usually hang out in groups with 3-4 or more

Band geeks is definitely a big one they usually stick together

Stoners the people that are probably doing drugs after school everyday

Other people that can´t really be put into a category since they are either really diverse or not diverse at all

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
