— Why should our town fund a repair café? Mr. Cole asked at a fictional council meeting. “Some old phones have weak batteries. Replacing them can give users a warranty and, in some cases, reduce energy use.”

Maya, a student volunteer, replied: “A cracked screen does not make a phone useless. At our pop-up event, technicians repaired 34 of 40 devices. Keeping products in use saves materials and helps people learn basic care.”

Cole agreed that discarded electronics create a problem and defended investment in collection points. Maya also supported collection points, but used the repair event to argue that fewer devices need to become waste in the first place.

Compare the perspectives in the text. Which statement best describes the main difference between Cole’s and Maya’s reasoning?

“Why should our library close at 5 p.m. when many residents finish work later?” asked Maya, a student, during a town meeting. She explained that longer hours would allow teenagers to study in a quiet place and adults to borrow books after work.

Mr. Lewis, a library assistant, agreed that the library is important to the community. However, he said that keeping it open later would require more staff members. He also mentioned that workers need safe transport home at night.

The town council will decide whether to test later opening hours for two months.

Analyze the two opinions in the text. What do they reveal about the proposed later closing time?

On a local community forum, two residents discussed the growing number of old phones and broken chargers at home. Mia wrote: “Keeping unused electronics in drawers is not harmless. These items contain metals and batteries that can leak dangerous waste, so recycling them is the safest choice.” Then Jordan replied: “I agree that waste is a problem, but many recycling points are far away, and people often do not know where to go. Before telling everyone to recycle, the city should make collection easier and give clear information.” Their messages show concern for the same issue, but they focus on different aspects of it. Mia emphasizes the environmental risk of storing electronic waste, while Jordan emphasizes the practical barriers people face when trying to recycle it.

Compare the two viewpoints and identify the statement that best describes their difference.
