Jackie is writing a speech that claims that students should sell fruit instead of candy for the school fundraiser. In her speech,
Jackie wants to rebut the counterclaim that "students should sell candy like last year." Which is the best rebuttal that Jackie
could use in her speech?
I know that we sold candy last year, but we don't always have to sell candy every year we have a school fundraiser. We
could try selling something different this year, like fruit.
Last year we sold several thousand dollars worth of candy, and all you students ate that candy, which is probably why you
want to sell candy again this year. But I don't think that's a good reason.
I know a lot of students want to sell candy like last year, but fruit tastes sweet too and is better for us. Isn't the country trying
to encourage healthier eating these days?
Last year I sold a lot of candy, just like you did, and we made a lot of money for the school. But I felt guilty selling so much
candy to little kids whose teeth would rot and who might have gotten sick from eating all that candy. Don't kids get enough
candy as it is?
