Students are discussing an article they were assigned to read for ELA: a news feature about plastic pollution in oceans. The teacher reminds everyone: "Come prepared by citing at least one specific fact from the article (a number, a named organization, or a described example) and explain how it supports your point." Which response is the best example of coming prepared? A) "Plastic is bad for the ocean. Everyone knows that." B) "If I remember right, the article said there was a lot of plastic, but I don't remember how much." C) "The article described sea animals getting hurt by plastic, so it's definitely a problem." D) "The article quoted a research group that estimated about 8 million metric tons of plastic enter the ocean each year, which helped me realize it's not just litter on the beach—it's a huge yearly flow of waste. That number supports the idea that prevention matters as much as cleanup."
