### Persuasive Speech #### INFORMATIONAL TEXT **Persuasive Speech** *The following is an excerpt from a transcript of a town council meeting. In the meeting, the council invited members of the community to share their opinions about a proposal to build the first movie theater in their town. Read the transcript of one speaker’s remarks, and then answer the question that follows.* --- I speak as a younger member of this community. Our town has been looking for a way to build a stronger sense of community. We have the public pool, the library, and several parks, and they all add color, character, and vibrancy to our town. But I think, in order to draw our generation out of the house and away from social media and video games, you need to build something we can relate to. This is why I hope the city council will approve plans for a new movie theater. Not only will it appeal to all ages, it will add jobs and revenue to our town. Some people think of watching movies as a solitary exercise, but in fact it is just the opposite. The movies are a great excuse for people to leave the house and get together. If there were a movie theater in town, my friends and I would be far more likely to step away from our computers and go out for a day together. Thank you. --- ### Question 29 **What additional details would have most strengthened the speaker’s argument?** - **A** personal anecdotes about how much the speaker loves watching movies with his friends. - **B** scientific data on the harm of spending too much time on social media. - **C** a database of movies that appeal to younger viewers, categorized by type. - **D** expert opinions about the value of movie theaters to building a sense of community.
