of their own.
We're here because, right now, there are young girls . . . like my daughters . . . who are just as precious and just as gifted—like the 16-year-old refugee from Myanmar that I met in Malaysia—who've suffered unspeakable abuse . . . girls who pray at night that someone might rescue them from their torment.

The writer uses an appeal to emotion by portraying her family as abandoned by policy makers.
The writer uses a bandwagon statement by claiming that her family is an "average American family."
The writer uses an ad hominem argument by attacking those who make healthcare decisions.
The writer uses a false dilemma by stating that insur-
ance is both necessary and unaffordable.
24.
Read the two passages.
Passage 1
Raising the minimum wage for workers will provide a significant boost to the economy. For example, chang-
ing the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour would add $22 billion to the economy by increasing people's pur-
chasing power. Household spending would increase by $48 billion in one year with a similar minimum wage increase. Increased earnings lead to increased spend-
ing and a greater demand for products and services. This phenomenon then leads to the need for more workers and, thereby, job growth.
Passage 2
The current federal minimum wage for workers is $7.25. If the government increased that by $1.75, stud-
ies show that household spending would also in-
crease—by $48 billion annually. An economic move like this makes too much sense to ignore. A rise in household spending would mean an expansion in the profits of many businesses, including small busi-
nesses. As a small-business owner, I would certainly welcome the extra income. The last time the mini-
mum wage was increased, my profit margin increased substantially. My fellow small-business owners expe-
rienced a similar profit growth that year.
Passage 2 is more effective because the evidence is logical and is sup-
ported by anec-
dotes.

25.
Read the passage from a speech by President George W. Bush.
We have other work to do on taxes. Unless Congress acts, most of the tax relief we've delivered over the past 7 years will be taken away. Some in Washington argue that letting tax relief expire is not a tax increase. Try explaining that to 116 million American taxpayers who would see their taxes rise by an average of $1,800. Others have said they would personally be happy to pay higher taxes. I welcome their enthusiasm. I'm pleased to report that the IRS accepts both checks and money orders.
Which sentence from the passage is the main reason used to support the claim stated in the first sentence?
"Unless Congress acts, most of the tax relief we've delivered over the past 7 years will be taken away."
"Some in Washington argue that letting tax relief ex-
pire is not a tax increase."
"Others have said they would personally be happy to pay higher taxes."
"I'm pleased to report that the IRS accepts both checks and money orders."
"Unless Congress acts, most of the tax relief we've de-
livered over the past 7 years will be taken away."
