Discuss and explain
A fictional student newsletter says: “The library should stay open later. Twelve students at our evening study group asked for more study space.” Identify the claim and the evidence. Write one limitation of the evidence, then describe one additional observation that would make the decision better informed. Quote only the words you need and label the source as fictional.
