Water is one of Earth's most precious resources.



Which sentence gives the best support for this claim?



More than 70 percent of the Earth's surface is covered by water.


Water treatment plants prevent the spread of waterborne diseases.


Although Earth's human population is expanding, its water supply is fixed.


Industrial and agricultural uses contribute to water pollution

Answer:

Although Earth's human population is expanding, its water supply is fixed.

Explanation:

Although Earth's human population is expanding, its water supply is fixed.

The only known planet in the cosmos where life has existed and found a habitable environment is Earth, which is the third planet from the Sun. Even though Earth may not have the most water in the Solar System, it is the only planet where liquid surface water can exist, covering 70.8% of the planet's surface.

This makes Earth an ocean world. Large sheets of ice covering the ocean and land, dwarfing Earth's groundwater, lakes, rivers, and atmospheric water, are currently retaining the majority of all other water on Earth in the polar regions.

Over 29.2% of the planet's surface is land, which is made up of continents and islands and is heavily vegetated. The crust of the planet, which is located under its surface, is made up of multiple slowly moving tectonic plates.

Therefore, Although Earth's human population is expanding, its water supply is fixed.

Research has shown that people who live in busy, industrial nations spend more time at work and less time at home. Apart from the stress this lifestyle can cause, it can lead to other health risks as well. People who do not have the time to prepare healthy, home cooked meals usually eat food that has been processed, frozen, or otherwise preserved. The number one item used in food preservation is sodium. Busy, working people are consuming large amounts of sodium, which is affecting their health.
Doctors have determined that the average healthy person should consume around 1500 milligrams of sodium a day. Studies have shown that people who eat fast food or preserved food on a regular basis consume far more than this healthy number. For instance, one meal that has been processed and preserved in this method can contain as much as one and a third times the average daily recommendation. That comes to almost 2000 milligrams of sodium in one meal alone. If a person eats three of these meals in a day, that is 6000 milligrams of sodium, or four times, the average daily recommendation.
In the body, sodium controls the elasticity of cell membranes and helps the body regulate fluids. Low sodium levels mean that a person’s body has trouble retaining water, which can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. High sodium levels means that the body retains too much water, which can cause high blood pressure. High blood pressure leads to heart failure. High sodium levels also can cause kidney and renal failure. Busy people who eat unhealthy meals that are high in sodium are slowly killing themselves.
The food packaging industry drastically needs to reduce the levels of sodium they add to foods. The time for action is now. If these companies cannot take direct action, then it is the duty of the government to demand stricter limitations on sodium additives and harsher punishments and fines for violators. The health of our society and our labor force depends upon it.

Question: What evidence does the author give to support the statement that processed foods have unhealthy levels of sodium?
a
People who live in industrial nations spend too much time at work and less at home.
b
Low levels of sodium in the body can lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
c
A normal, healthy person should consume around 500 milligrams of sodium a day.
d
One preserved meal can contain one and a third times the recommended daily sodium.

Read the passage.

(1) Ask young people today if they know of anyone who has had smallpox, and they might ask, "What’s smallpox?” (2) That is because this disease was eradicated from the planet decades ago, thanks to vaccinations. (3) Despite the obvious effectiveness of vaccination, opponents of this procedure argue that humans are better off fighting diseases on their own without adding anything potentially harmful to their bodies. (4) Still, the American Academy of Pediatrics says that vaccines can be 99 percent effective, and the Centers for Disease Control claims that, over a 10-year period, vaccines allowed 322 million children to avoid illnesses. (5) So the next time someone tells you that vaccines are poisoned apples that will lead to a fate like Snow White’s, counter their argument with the facts. (6) The bottom line is that vaccines are safe to use and save lives.

How can the writer use understatement in this passage?

by changing the phrase “young people” to “most people” in sentence 1
by deleting the words obvious and potentially from sentence 3
by adding the phrase “so a few lives might be saved” to the end of sentence 4
by shortening the passage to only five sentences by removing sentence 5
