Review the scenario. Karen is writing an argument essay in which she proposes that a school budget surplus be spent on upgrading the equipment in the school computer lab. The opposition believes that the money should be spent on textbooks instead.

Which concession will demonstrate that Karen is a reasonable person who values and acknowledges the opposing view?

A. Some may think that the extra money should be spent on other things.

B. Last week, you recommended spending the budget surplus on new textbooks.

C. I agree that textbooks are important and useful.

D. To those who oppose my viewpoint, I say that textbooks are outdated, old-fashioned, wasteful, and impractical when compared to laptops and tablets.

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.

it is waged war against an army of countrymen

it would lead to independence from britain

it would be an offensive war

it would be a defensive war
