Question 3
The text states: "'It's an innovative way to measure the atmosphere,' said Jason Dunion." Does this reasoning support the claim in Question 1? Why?
Answers may vary. Sample answer:This statement supports the author's claim. The author is providing information as to why the drones would be beneficial for predicting hurricanes. He chose to quote someone who is a hurricane researcher, an expert in the field. This helps his claim, because a reader can assume that the specialist will know about what is good for that field of study. Also, he chose the word "innovative." This is a positive word for something new.
