An argumentative essay must judge whether a plan to require every senior to complete a community-based capstone project is justified. Which sentence best compares the size of the benefit, the cost, the risk, and the stakeholders affected?
A
The policy should be accepted because any chance to encourage research, planning, and public presentation skills is more important than objections from other groups.
B
The essay should argue that the issue has no real trade-off because benefits and costs always cancel each other out.
C
The best approach is to praise students who benefit from independent projects and community partners and criticize students with limited time, transportation, or networks, since a strong essay should choose a side quickly.
D
A sophisticated answer would weigh magnitude and distribution: if the policy can encourage research, planning, and public presentation skills, the writer must still test whether the skill-building benefit justifies the workload and access concerns for students with limited time, transportation, or networks, especially because students with stronger community connections find easier projects.
