Contoh Soal Choose valid evidence to support an argument - An argument is simply a statement of what someone believes is or should be true. Simply making a statement of your beliefs is not usually enough to convince someone else if their view is different from yours. That is why we need a supporting argument. A supporting argument explains or gives evidence that shows the statement to be true. When we present our belief statement and supporting argument, others may express that they do not agree and provide a counter argument. A counterargument is an explanation or supporting evidence that shows the statement to be false, or expresses another point of view.

SOAL 6
Read the passage below and answer the question.
"As the sport of cockfighting grows, so does the number of opponents to this
“inhumane spectacle”. Critics, many of whom are animal rights activists, claim that it is
prehistoric savageness to become excitedly crazy while watching one bird try to murder
another. In addition, they believe that humans have no right to “force” these beautiful
birds to fight to the death. The Animal Rights Association is fighting hard to ban
cockfighting in the three states where it remains legal. Unfortunately, they are gaining
support as a result of a widespread lack of knowledge about cockfighting. The majority of
people who would vote to ban cockfighting have never been to a cockfight. People hear
what the Animal Rights Association says about the sport and, without giving much
thought, assume that cockfighting is a barbaric blood sport that should be illegal. In truth,
cockfighting has to be one of the most misunderstood activities around. While on the
surface cockfighting appears to be evil, it is actually a sport that benefits all birds and
humans who are involved." (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5b/A_Chicken_or_a_Champion.pdf)

SOAL 9
Read the passage below and answer the question.
Every pet owner knows that there are enormous responsibilities that go along with having a cat or dog. You must feed and exercise your pet, to keep it physically healthy; you must play with it, and keep it emotionally healthy too. You have to keep it safe from cars, people, or other animals, and you ought to protect other people, property, or pets from your own animal. There’s another responsibility that not all pet owners think about, however: spaying or neutering, or “fixing.” What does “fixing” you pet mean? Simply put, it means taking your pet to the vet for a quick, cheap surgery that will prevent your pet from ever becoming a mother or father. This surgery solves problems that pet owners know about, and some that they might not have considered before. In fact, I believe that all pet owners should be required to have their pets fixed.
