details that strengthen, add variety or weight to any argument.

Types of Textual Evidence

REFERENCING - act of mentioning a specific section of the text like an event or action.
PARAPHRASING - restating an author’s or someone else’s work using your own words without
losing the original idea of the text.
SUMMARIZING - stating the essential ideas together of the text in a shorter way.
QOUTING - stating a part of the text in the exact way it was written.

Generalization:

Why do you need to determine textual evidence?

F. APPLICATION

evidence to support your assertion and counterclaim.

An excerpt of Meat Culture

By Steve Pavlina
When I see a piece of flesh on someone’s plate, I also see the processes that brought it to
their plate. Some people argue that plants may be harmed by being eaten. I happen to agree. If we
care about minimizing harm to plants, then we’ll do much less harm by eating them directly as
opposed to grinding them up, feeding them to animals, and then grinding up and eating the
animals. If we stopped growing crops to feed to animals and fed those crops to people directly, it’s
estimated that we’d have enough food to feed the whole planet five times over. So if you do
actually care about plants, then you can greatly reduce your plant harm by eating plants directly.
Another way to reduce harm to plants is to favor fruits that can be eaten without killing the plants.
You can eat a wide variety of fruits, both sweet and non-sweet, without seriously hurting the plant
that spawned it. And that same plant will often continue to bear even more fruit. I think a more
sensible and realistic approach is to keep leaning towards a more conscious, compassionate, and
ecologically sound way of eating.
If you want to argue that we should model predators’ diets to justify meat culture, I encourage
you to go ahead and try being a truly predatory person for a while. Do it consciously. Prey on the
weak. See where that takes you.

The Leboyer method of childbirth seeks to protect a newborn’s delicate senses from the shock
of bright lights, harsh sounds, and rough handling. After the baby’s head has begun to emerge,
lights are dimmed and the delivery room is quieted. The baby is not held by the ankles and slapped
to encourage the first breath; Leboyer states that since the fetus’’ spinal column has never been in
a straight position; this kind of handling is a severe shock to the infant. Instead, the baby, with the
umbilical cord still attached, is gently placed on the mother’s abdomen until breathing begins
naturally. At this point, the baby is rinsed in a tepid bath, rather than weighed on a cold scale.
Babies born this way are usually relaxed and smiling, not tensed and screaming. Some studies of
Leboyer babies and standard-delivery have shown that Leboyer children are slightly more
physically advanced and quicker to learn. Parents of Leboyer children, in general, saw the birth as
a positive and exhilarating experience.

_____ 5. Which sentence best summarizes the selection?

A. The usual method of childbirth subjects newborns to bright lights,
harsh sounds, and rough handling.
B. In the Leboyer method of childbirth, a newborn’s first breath is
never encouraged by the common process of holding the infant by
the ankles and slapping it.
C. The Leboyer method of childbirth, designed to protect a newborn’s
delicate sense from the shock of standard deliveries, has positive
effects.
D.All of these are correct.
