Multiple Choice
Prompt: Should plastic straws be banned?
Which part of the paragraph is the A of RACES?
Plastic straws should be banned because they pollute the Earth. According to the author, "These small items are only used once and then are thrown away…sometimes they end up in the oceans. This hurts fish and sea animals who may accidentally eat the plastic.” All of this shows that plastic straws are hurting our environment and the animals that live in it. Something as small as a straw can lead to negative consequences that should be avoided. In conclusion, these products should be banned because caring for our planet is more important than someone’s preference to sip their drink through a plastic straw.
