In a speech about valley fever, a potentially deadly disease that has reached serious proportions in several southwestern states, a speaker said: after being plagued by asthma attacks in hawaii for six years, lori crown hoped to find relief by moving to the dryer climate in bakersfield, california. a few months after arriving in bakersfield, crown was suffering from severe headaches, swollen feet, painful bumps on her hands and legs, and a prolonged fever. the diagnosis—valley fever. to combat the disease, crown has to take fluconazole, an antifungal drug that costs $685 for a one-month supply of pills. although the drug , crown still gets painful headaches, frequent fevers, and debilitating fatigue. "it's so frustrating," crown says. "one day i'll feel fine, then i'll be in bed for the next three." most days she wishes she had stayed in hawaii. according to your textbook, what kind of supporting material is used in this statement?

Which excerpt from shirley chisholm’s speech “equal rights for women” provides support for chisholm’s analysis of how the facts justify her conclusion? `it is true that part of the problem has been that women have not been aggressive in demanding their rights. this was also true of the black population for many years. they submitted to oppression and even cooperated with it. women have done the same thing. `women need no protection that men do not need. what we need are laws to protect working people, to guarantee them fair pay, safe working conditions, protection against sickness and layoffs, and provision for dignified, comfortable retirement. men and women need these things equally. that one sex needs protection more than the other is a male supremacist myth. `it is obvious that discrimination exists. women do not have the opportunities that men do. and women that do not conform to the system, who try to break with the accepted patterns, are stigmatized as ‘‘odd’’ and “unfeminine.” the fact is that a woman who aspires to be chairman of the board, or a member of the house, does so for exactly the same reasons as any man. `as in the field of equal rights for blacks, spanish-americans, the indians, and other groups, laws will not change such deep-seated problems overnight. but they can be used to provide protection for those who are most abused, and to begin the process of evolutionary change by compelling the insensitive majority to reexamine its unconscious attitudes.
