Here are the answers to the next questions: 1.4 Refer to paragraph 4. Suggest why the writer begins the paragraph with a rhetorical question. The writer begins the paragraph with a rhetorical question ("So, what's really in these vape pens?") to engage the reader and prompt them to think about the contents of vape pens. It serves to introduce the crucial information about nicotine and its harmful effects, making the reader more receptive to the explanation that follows. 1.5 Discuss the physical health risks of vaping evident in paragraph 5. Paragraph 5 highlights several physical health risks: Chemicals like formaldehyde and acetaldehyde found in vaping liquids can cause serious lung damage*. Some teenagers have been hospitalized with a severe condition known as EVALI (e-cigarette or vaping-associated lung injury)*. 1.6 Refer to paragraph 6. 1.6.1 Identify the tone used in this paragraph. The tone used in this paragraph is concerned and critical. 1.6.2 Comment on the suitability of the tone used. The concerned and critical tone is suitable because the paragraph discusses how teenagers are being misled by marketing and peer pressure into vaping, often unaware of the risks. This tone effectively conveys the seriousness of the issue and the writer's disapproval of the deceptive tactics used to attract young people, reinforcing the message that vaping is not "normal" or "safe." 1.7 Critically discuss how diction conveys the writer's attitude towards social media as a channel through which teenagers are influenced. The writer uses diction such as "flooded" to describe social media, suggesting an overwhelming and pervasive presence of vaping content. Phrases like "casually vaping" and "making it look trendy and harmless" highlight how social media normalizes and glamorizes vaping. By then directly countering these perceptions with "But it's not normal" and "And it's certainly not safe," the writer conveys a critical and disapproving attitude towards social media's role in misleading teenagers and downplaying the dangers of vaping. 1.8 Refer to paragraph 7. Is the final paragraph an appropriate conclusion to the article? Justify your answer. Yes, the final paragraph is an appropriate conclusion. It effectively summarizes the ongoing challenges (influence of the vape industry, teens struggling) and proposes actionable solutions (tightening regulations, awareness campaigns, involvement of schools, parents, and peers). The concluding rhetorical questions ("If vaping is so 'safe,' why are young people struggling to stop?") powerfully reinforce the article's main argument about the dangers and false perceptions of vaping, leaving the reader with a strong, thought-provoking message. 3 done, 2 left today.
