Question

a student is writing an argumentative report for her environmental science class about the importance of using water wisely. read the paragraph from the students report and the directions that follow. water conservation means using water in a smart manner and caring for it. we all depend on water, so it is our responsibility to learn more about water conservation and how we can help keep our water clean for the future. saving water helps to maintain our surroundings. it diminishes the energy needed to process water, which helps by saving fuel resources. aside from air, water is our most valuable resource. we cannot live without water, so conserve it wisely. the student found information from multiple sources. choose two pieces of evidence that support the students argument in her report. a. our water supply is finite, which means that we do not have an endless supply. b. ninety - seven percent of the earth is covered in salt water. c. we need to consider future generations who will not have a sufficient supply of water unless we are concerned with how we use our water today. d. water pollution is a minor issue that can be resolved in the distant future.

Explanation:

The argument is about the importance of water conservation due to finite water supply and its impact on future generations. Option A emphasizes the finiteness of water supply which is a key - point for conservation. Option C highlights the need to consider future generations in water usage, which also supports the conservation argument.

Answer:

A. Our water supply is finite, which means that we do not have an endless supply.
C. We need to consider future generations who will not have a sufficient supply of water unless we are concerned with how we use our water today.
