Final Answer:
A is the more effective argument. It gives clear reasons like homework taking 2–3 hours, interfering with family time, and causing stress — which makes sense and feels fair. B is not effective because it’s emotional (“teachers just want to be mean”) and doesn’t give real proof — it just says kids want TV and games, which isn’t a strong reason to stop homework.

Explanation:
Let’s look at both arguments like we’re picking the better one in a debate.
Argument A:
- Says homework takes 2–3 hours — that’s specific and easy to imagine.
- Talks about real problems: family time, losing interest in school, stress.
- Ends with a balanced idea: homework is needed, but teachers should remember kids need fun too.
→ This feels fair and logical. You can picture it happening.
Argument B:
- Starts with “It’s frustrating” — that’s feelings, not facts.
- Says kids get mad at teachers — again, feelings.
- Says kids need time for TV and video games — that’s not a good reason to cancel homework.
- Says teachers give homework because they “want to be mean” — that’s unfair and not true.
→ This sounds like someone complaining, not trying to solve the problem.
So A wins because it gives real reasons and stays calm. B loses because it’s all emotion and no proof.
