The goal of this exercise is to assess a number of statements and formulate arguments in support and opposition to each claim. The first stage is to decide whether each claim is accurate or incorrect, which may require doing research to prove the accuracy of the claims. The next step is to develop persuasive arguments for and against each claim after its truth has been proven. Additionally, it is crucial that you follow the instructions for using sources in this activity. Each argument should be supported by credible sources, and in the parts that follow, we'll give a detailed examination of each of the two statements and explain why these sources are regarded as reputable and suitable for developing strong arguments.
