   Unrelated to Goal Probably Both Disagree5% picked this

   there are any circumstances under which an individual forced to perform a task can correctly be said to have genuinely

   This doesn't sound like what we were looking for: "this policy of requiring community service can succeed in fostering a habit of volunteering". This is dealing with Sarah's 2nd claim, which Paul had no comment on. Sarah definitely disagrees with this answer choice, but Paul likely would also. He's never arguing that "when you force someone to do X, you can technically still say that they genuinely volunteered to do X".

   being forced to perform community service can provide enjoyment to the individual who is forced

   Sarah never talks about whether anyone "enjoyed" the community service. Paul would agree with this answer, but we have no way to support that Sarah would say, "being forced to do community service can never provide enjoyment".

   being forced to perform community service can by itself encourage a genuine habit of volunteering in those students who are

   Why this is right

   We were looking for whether or not "this policy of requiring community service can succeed in fostering a habit of volunteering". This answer seems very close to that wording. Sarah would say no; her final thought is "there is no way this policy [of forcing students to perform community service in the hope of fostering a habit of volunteering" can succeed by itself. Paul would disagree, because he says "the policy [of forcing students to perform community service] can clearly be said to have fostered a habit of volunteering."

   Skill tested: Agree/Disagree · how this choice captures the argument's function is the move to repeat next time.

   Disagree Position Too Strong17% picked this

   it is possible for schools to develop policies that foster the habit of volunteering

   Both parties would probably agree to this because no one wants to argue the disagree position: It is impossible for schools to develop policies that foster the habit of volunteering. That's way too extreme. Sarah isn't saying that it's impossible to foster a habit of volunteering. She's just this this policy, which forces community service, cannot foster it.

   Unsupported Person 11% picked this

   students who develop a habit of volunteering while in school are inclined to perform community service

   Sarah never talks about people who develop a habit of volunteering while in school, so we have no idea how she feels about this. To pick this answer, we'd need support for her disagreeing, but we can't derive from her paragraph that she believes that "students who develop a habit of volunteering while in school are not inclined to do community service later in life".
