Roberto is writing an article for his town newspaper, arguing against plans to build a new shopping center in a local meadow. Read this sentence from his article: State conservation officials noted that “the loss of the open meadow will further reduce the habitat for local wildlife, which is already under pressure from new housing developments near the town forest.”

Why did Roberto include this sentence?

A.
He needed to cite a credible source for evidence to support his claim.
B.
He needed to clearly explain his position on the topic by stating a claim.
C.
He needed to demonstrate understanding by clearly describing the topic.
D.
He needed to introduce the topic of his article and give basic details about it.

I think It's A.

Explanation:

He has to say that it's reducing wildlife because then it will make his argument stronger of why the shopping center shouldn't put the building in the middle of a meadow.

gold miners!

explanation:

the book's theme is the moral ambiguity of the iranian revolution, history of middle eastern relations and the process of growing up during war. it sheds light on the stereotypical views of middle eastern culture and religion.

the author explicitly portrays the issues of class disparities and racism continously throught the whole novel.

the relationship between parents and childrens, the abandonment of faith, modernity vs fundamentalism and class conflict are the 4 main panels that this novel englobes.

hope this , if you would like me to be more specific about a specific excerpt let me know : )
