Patron 1's argument : To evaluate it from the options we have 3 probable options:
Draws an analogy to highlight the unfairness of the policy. - The Patron does mention that "it doesn't seem fair to discriminate based on academic status" but does not draw an analogy to highlight the unfairness of the policy. Eliminate
Counters the analogy with a different perspective. - It counters the library's policy by saying that "Many of us use the library to supplement our home book collections, and a limit of 5 books is not enough to satisfy our reading needs" Keep
Asserts the exception for students is not justified by their unique needs. - The Patron 1 does not say that the exception for students is not justified.
Patron 2's argument : To evaluate it from the options we have 2 probable options:
Emphasizes the personal impact the policy has on individual patrons. - No discussion about individual Patrons. Eliminate
Suggests the policy is a reasonable compromise given the library's constraints. - This seems more appropriate as the the argument mentions "With limited resources, they need to balance the needs of all patrons"
Patron 1's argument: Counters the analogy with a different perspective.

P1 : P1 states 2 points to show how the policy isn't right - 1. It hampers many people's (not individual) satisfaction level because of the limit & 2. The exception given to university students is discriminatory as per academic levels
P2 : P2 counters by saying keeping a limit helps more people access it & there's a need to balance the needs for all with limited resources & provides reason for providing students with university coursework for more access
The statements which match with P1 :
Draws an analogy to highlight the unfairness of the policy.
P2:
Suggests the policy is a reasonable compromise given the library's constraints.

12 Days of Christmas 2024 - 2025 Competition with $40,000 of Prizes
A local library has recently implemented a new policy that limits the number of books patrons can borrow at one time. The policy states that a patron may only check out up to 5 books at a time, with the exception of students enrolled in university courses who are allowed to check out up to 10 books.
Patron 1: "The new policy is unreasonable. Many of us use the library to supplement our home book collections, and a limit of 5 books is not enough to satisfy our reading needs. Even with the exception for university students, it doesn't seem fair to discriminate based on academic status."
Patron 2: "I understand the frustration, but the library likely implemented this policy to ensure broader access to their collection. With limited resources, they need to balance the needs of all patrons. The higher limit for students makes sense, as they often have more intensive reading requirements for their coursework."
In the first column, indicate a statement that describes how Patron 1 develops their objection to the library's policy. In the second column, indicate a statement that describes how Patron 2 responds to Patron 1's argument.

Patron 1's argument: Emphasizes the personal impact the policy has on individual patrons.
Patron 2's argument: Suggests the policy is a reasonable compromise given the library's constraints.
Analysis of Patron 1's Argument:
Patron 1 expresses dissatisfaction with the new policy by emphasizing the personal impact it has on individual patrons. They argue that the limit of 5 books is insufficient for those who use the library to supplement their home book collections. Additionally, they assert that the exception for university students is unfair and discriminatory based on academic status.
Analysis of Patron 2's Response:
Patron 2 acknowledges the frustration but suggests that the policy is a reasonable compromise given the library's constraints. They argue that the policy likely aims to ensure broader access to the collection for all patrons. Furthermore, Patron 2 justifies the higher limit for students by pointing out their more intensive reading requirements for coursework.
