Set 13: Rhetorical Synthesis (Advanced)
Explanation
PASSAGE
A student is writing about net neutrality. The student wants to explain the concern of those who support it. Notes: - Net neutrality requires ISPs to treat all internet traffic equally. - Without it, ISPs could slow or block certain websites. - ISPs could charge extra for access to popular services. - Major tech companies support net neutrality.
Which choice most effectively uses information from the notes to accomplish the student's goal?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question asks you to effectively combine information to achieve a goal. The goal is the CONCERN of supporters. Slowing/blocking websites and extra charges are what supporters fear without protections. The correct synthesis will use relevant details from the notes in a logical, purposeful way. Focus on what the question asks you to accomplish, then choose the answer that best achieves that goal using the provided information. Effective synthesis requires selecting and combining the most relevant information to achieve a specific purpose. Not all provided notes may be equally useful. Focus on what best accomplishes the stated goal while maintaining logical coherence.
Key Evidence:
• "concern of those who support it"
• "ISPs could slow or block"
• "charge extra for access"
Why others are wrong: D (States who supports it but not their concerns.), A (Defines net neutrality but doesn't state supporter concerns.), B (Not in notes; mentions debate, not concerns.).
