Situation is . . . Jane is on the school bus wondering what

she will have for a snack when she gets home. For some reason, the thought of the taste of apple sounds awfully good. As soon as she gets in the kitchen she finds the items she needs. Jane knows she doesn’t need a lot of added sugar. Jane also wants to keep the calories as low as possible. Something crunchy she can really sink her teeth into sounds great.

I place this class of SNACKS 4, 3, 1, 2.

I place 4 over 3 because:

4 is crunchy while 3 is soft.

I place 3 over 1 because:3 doesn’t have

added sugar while 1 does.

3 is lower in calories having 75 while 1 has 350 calories.

I grant that 1 is crunchy while 3 is not.

What is a Grant? A grant is a comparison where the lower

item is better than the upper item.

Grants come after the positive reasons.

I place 1 over 2 because:

1 is apple while 2 is not,

1 is more crunchy than 2.

I grant that the calories in 2 are less than 1.

I place 2 last because:
