He asks you to critique the draft of his first point, which states: "A plant-based diet can be good for the circulatory system as well as for one's digestive system, and it can easily and inexpensively be grown without pesticides and herbicides in one's own backyard." What feedback would you provide Bryant? A) The point seems nicely balanced and suggests a defensible thesis statement. B) The point seems appropriate to the classroom setting as it is helpful and new. C) You will want to sort out the various ideas and focus separately on each.
