Read the excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi." And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest.

The theme expressed in this paragraph is that

even wise people do foolish things at times.
those who sacrifice for others are great people.
sacrificing one’s most prized possessions is foolish.
wise people are often those with the fewest possessions.

Healthcare costs are becoming an issue for many americans. in just two years, the average family has seen an increase of 3 percent in insurance costs. the increase rises to 25 percent when you include families who buy insurance on an exchange. at this rate, health care will soon be completely unaffordable for most americans. therefore, lowering the cost of health insurance must be a priority for lawmakers. which statement best explains why the argument is logical? a.)the argument incorporates empirical and anecdotal evidence. b.)the argument includes a strong counterclaim and a fair rebuttal. c.)the argument contains relevant reasons supported with facts and data. d.)the argument includes a personal experience as an emotional appeal.
