“Ladies and gentlemen of the city council, thank you so much for giving me this time to speak. While we have some great ideas on how to use our recent grant money, I believe that the money would be best used to create a skate park. There has been a debate on what do with the empty lot on Main St. for months now. By building a skate park we solve the problem of what to do with the lot and the grant at the same time. Skate parks provide a safe place for our children, encourage tourists to visit our city and encourage children to be active. We have had a problem with skaters in public places currently, and by providing them with a place to skate, we will solve this problem as well. The service the skate park serves is safe and should solve our situation. We need to build a skate park.” Which language feature is NOT featured in this speech?

What kind of job do you hope to have? In recent years, society has gone through a dramatic shift in the way people work. Many are now employed in the so-called "gig economy.” In a gig economy, workers are not permanently employed by companies. Instead, people work independently on a freelance basis or by taking on short-term contracts. This provides workers with greater freedom to choose when and how they work, but it has a downside. This setup allows companies to avoid providing a living wage and paying benefits such as health insurance and paid time off. In short, the gig economy is an abusive system in which workers must forever be hustling for that next buck since they can never depend upon stable employment.

Which statement provides the best counterargument to the writer’s thesis?
A. Typically, gig companies treat workers as contractors and pay a flat rate “per piece,” such as per ride or per delivery.
B. Many gig companies promote the flexibility such work allows as well as the ability for workers to “be their own boss.”
C. Often, gig companies provide an app-based technology platform to connect customers to gig workers.
D. Some gig companies may be required to provide more benefits if proposed regulation is passed.
