(excerpt from a pro-voting essay)
Voting is the privilege for which wars have been fought, protests have been organized, and editorials have been
written. “No taxation without representation” was a battle cry of the American Revolution. Women struggled
for suffrage as did all minorities. Eighteen-year-olds clamored for the right to vote, saying that if they were old
enough to go to war, they should be allowed to vote. Yet Americans have a deplorable voting history.
Interviewing people about their voting habits is revealing. There are individuals who state that they have
never voted. Often, they claim that their individual vote doesn’t matter. Some people blame their absence from
the voting booth on the fact that they do not know enough about the issues. In a democracy, we can express
our opinions to our elected leaders, but more than half of us sometimes avoid choosing the people who make
the policies that affect our lives.
31. This argument relies primarily on which of the
following techniques to make its points?
a. emotional assertions
b. researched facts in support of an assertion
c. emotional appeals to voters
d. emotional appeals to nonvoters
32. Which of the following sentences best summa-
rizes the main idea of the passage?
a. Americans are too lazy to vote.
b. Women and minorities fought for their right
to vote.
