Answer from: aliciagore

I'd say A: As college costs soar, some question the value of getting a degree.

Explanation: A lot of people believe the only true way to success is through going to college, this is not true for the most part... However, you do still have a high chance of getting better-paying jobs if you go to college. An objective tone is a neutral based tone in which doesn't side with nor holds emotions or opinions. Neutral simply means neither or, right? In other words, you're not specifically playing one side at the moment rather than just covering some ground on the topic from both sides. Let's go backward:

The fourth answer choice is mainly about opinion rather than factual proof or statements. "There are just more jobs..." This is already starting off with an opinion.

Number three is appealing to someone rather than their topic. If that's a little confusing, I'll explain it differently. Rather than focusing on both sides of the argument, the writer chose to focus on the reader, it also uses the word "probably" -- which is a guess. Remember, we're not here to guess!

Answer two does provide a factual statement but this can be used against an argument as "why going to college isn't worth it". Granted, anything may be used against any topics and personally, I can't find much else wrong with this answer choice. I'm not for certain the answer is A, but I'm explaining my thoughts so anyone else may correct me.

Finally, the first answer! This can be used against an argument as well, however, it also introduces both sides already. There are countless students going to college and some of them are questioning the purpose of extra education. In just this single sentence, we can see the writer is merely saying "some" instead of "oh, well everyone is...", "hardly anyone..." and such, while the rest possibly never even think about it.

This is just my guess and my explanation as to why I feel it is so, please do feel free to correct me as I'm not 100% certain the answer between A or B! If anyone else is able to, please let me know if I got it correct! Tysm happy holidays! :)

Read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock." and indeed there will be time to wonder, “do i dare? ” and, “do i dare? ” time to turn back and descend the stair, with a bald spot in the middle of my hair— [they will say: “how his hair is growing thin! ”] my morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin, my necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin— [they will say: “but how his arms and legs are thin! ”] do i dare disturb the universe? in a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. which lines indicate that the speaker is concerned about what others think of him?

In order really to hate white people, one has to blot so much out of the mind — and the heart — that this hatred itself becomes an exhausting and self-destructive pose. but this does not mean, on the other hand, that love comes easily: the white world is too powerful, too complacent, too ready with gratuitous humiliation, and, above all, too ignorant and too innocent for that. which sentence best explains how the use of parallelism in the excerpt supports baldwin's purpose? a. it proves baldwin's central idea by highlighting the obvious. b. it emphasizes the problems that prevent one from loving the white world. c. it explains why the white world is unable to replace hate with love. d. it enumerates the many ways of dealing with the white world.
