Evaluate the usefulness of the following entry on a note card for a speech about
whether the U.S. should normalize trade relations with Cuba.
Agricultural exports from the U.S.
to Cuba during the last six months exceeded $214
billion, making Cuba 28th among our agricultural export markets. One state directly
affected is Kansas. Its U.S. Representative, Jerry Moran, recently said: "I come from
agricultural interests, one more market for Kansas farmers. But boy, I have come to
the conclusion that it's a lot more than that. Our ability to change the relationship our
country has with Cuba has the ability to change the nature of Cubans and their
relationship with their own government."
A) The card contains much useful information and a good blend of statistics and
testimony.
B) The card contains information for two separate ideas, which defeats the purpose

C) The card contains good statistical information, but the Representative's specific
qualifications for addressing the topic needs to be explicitly established.
D) The Representative's comments are credible, but the legislator still needs to
specify where he got his information.
