Passage from an argumentative essay:

(1) Bernie Sanders argues that no one should have to pay tuition to go to college. (2) this will only increase the tax burden on the middle classes.

To improve the relationship between ideas, the writer should revise sentence 2 by

A) explaining the concept of a tax burden

B) adding "however" to the beginning of the sentence.

C) placing "therefore" at the beginning of the sentence

D) connecting it to the preceding sentence with "and"

adding "however" to the beginning of the sentence.

Explanation:

Just took a practice test.

To improve the relationship between the ideas expounded by Bernie Sanders, the writer must: option B, add "However" to the beginning of sentence 2, in this case, the paragraph would be as follows: Bernie Sanders argues that no one should have to pay the tuition to go to university. However, this will only increase the tax burden on the middle classes.

In this order of ideas, it is inferred from the text that the author considers that nobody should pay tuition to go to university, but he knows that if this is approved, the tax burden on the middle classes would be increased. Most people know that the tax burden is the taxes that the government charges especially to the middle and upper classes to settle or balance the investments that the government itself makes in favour of the people such as the subsidy for study or housing.
