10 POINTS!!

The 15 percent increase in orchestra enrollment is in-your-face proof that publicity pays off.

What is most needed to strengthen this statement?
a.) facts and statistics
b.) grammatical revisions
c.) a personal anecdote
d.) academic language

Respuesta :

The statement would be needed to strengthen it would be academic language. Obviously this is because you would not use the phrase “in-your-face-proof”...

Answer:

The answer d) academic language

Explanation:

The argument already contains facts/statistics in the phrase "15 percent increase," while the argument/claim is written in an informal tone and uses numerous expressions/idioms. Therefore, it could be best strengthened by a more formal tone/academic language.
