Down with the Billboards
Select the correct answer.
Three months ago, the Blueville City Council passed an
ordinance allowing companies to place billboards in residential
areas across the city, including in my neighborhood, Blue Creek.
Within two weeks, Blue Creek was bombarded with mass
commercialization. These billboards advertised everything from
services to personal products to businesses inappropriate for
young children. They were scattered across our area and in
residential parks. They are unsightly and hazardous to the
residents in my neighborhoods and the residents of our city.

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

An argumentative claim can be defined as an argument that is supported by claims. An argumentative claim is debatable, clear, and focussed. There are three types of claims: facts claim, value claim, and policy claim.

The claim used in the given scenario is a value claim. A value claim argues that something is either good or bad. In doing so, it compares and evaluates the situation. In value claim, the author often uses an appeal to emotion (or pathos) than mere facts.

The author in the given argument is stating that some billboards are bad for young children and are advertised everywhere in Blue Creek. Thus the author is talking about values; what should be valued or not.

Therefore, option D is correct.
