  - **Diagram: maximum price diagram**
  - **Evaluation: on the other hand, maximum prices can lead to government failure (excess demand means the government have distorted the market)**
- **Paragraph 2**
  - **Argument: on the other hand, a subsidy is a better way to ensure affordability because it can lead to lower prices as well as an increase in quantity.**
