Jorge: Conclusion You won't be able to write well about the rock music of the 1960s, since Support you were just an infant then. ████ █████ ██ ███ █████ ███ ███████ ██ ███ ███ ██████ ███ ████ ████ ██ █████ █████ ███ █████ █████████

Speaker 1 Summary

Jorge concludes that Ruth can’t write well about rock music of the 1960s. This is because that music was created by and for people in their teens and early twenties, and Ruth was only a baby at that time.

Speaker 2 Summary

Ruth’s conclusion (expressed in a rhetorical question) is that her age does not prevent her from writing well about music of the 1960s. As support, she points out that living people can write well about ancient Roman culture despite not being a part of ancient Roman culture.

Objective

We’re looking for a point of disagreement. The speakers disagree about whether Ruth will be able to write well about rock music of the 1960s. They also disagree about whether one who wasn’t in their teens or twenties during the 1960s can write well about music from that period.

Show answer

Which one of the following ████ ██████████ ██████████ ████ ██ ██ █████ ███████ █████ ███ █████

whether only those ██████ ███ ████ ██ █████ █████ ██ █████ ████████ ██████ ███ █████ ███ ██ █████████ ██ █████ █████ ███ ████ █████ ██ ████ ██████

This is a point of disagreement. Jorge thinks being of those ages is required to write about rock music from the 1960s. Ruth doesn’t think so.

whether people who ████ ██ █████ █████ ██ █████ ████████ ██████ ███ █████ ███ █████ ████ █████ ███ ████ █████ ██ ████ ██████

Not a point of disagreement. Jorge thinks being those ages is required to write well about rock music of the 1960s. Ruth doesn’t think age prevents one from writing well about music from a different time period. We have no reason to think there’s disagreement about this answer.

whether only people ███ ███ ████ █████ █████ ████████ ███ █████ ████ █████ ███████ ████████

Jorge doesn’t express an opinion. He doesn’t comment on ancient cultures or what’s required to write well about those cultures.

whether people who ███ ███ ███ ██ █████ █████ ██ █████ ████████ ███ █████ ████ █████ ███ ████ █████ ██ ███ █████

Not a point of disagreement. Jorge thinks one had to be in their teens or twenties during the 1960s to write well about 1960s rock. But an older person today who was of those ages in 1960s might write well. Ruth agrees that age doesn’t prevent one from writing well.

whether Ruth's ideas █████ ███ ████ █████ ██ ███ █████ ███ ██████ ██ ██████ ██ ██████ ███ ████ ██ █████ █████ ██ █████ ████████ ██████ ████ ██████

Neither expresses an opinion. Nobody discusses the appeal of Ruth’s ideas about anything. Although they comment about writing well, that’s not necessarily the same as having appealing ideas.
