Think about the holiday Halloween, and consider a neighborhood trick-or-treating event (where children dress up in costume, go from house to house saying, "Trick or treat!", and receive candy) as a text. Which of the following is the strongest critical claim?
a. Trick-or-treating demonstrates that kids like candy.
b. The anonymity of costumes is an interesting characteristic of trick-or-treating.
c. Trick-or-treating today is more about "treats" and hardly about "tricks" at all; the old practice of minor vandalism if a house didn't provide candy doesn't happen much anymore.
d. Trick-or-treating enables children to overcome fears by "softening" the scariness of Halloween and creepy costumes with a fun, safe experience.
e. "Trick-or-treating" as a text includes costumes, the association with Halloween, the candy, and the interactions between costumed children and non-costumed adults.
