Analyzing Arguments
A) To my understanding the writer is trying to sell and favor the gentler over the counter brand “Acid Ease” over its competitor “Pepticaid”, which is also a gentler over the counter brand (Writer A).

Therefore, pursuing employment in the restaurant industry based on the writer’s claim would be like taking
