which piece of evidence best supports the author’s claim?
○ some politicians support the idea of using wastewater.
○ paul rozin studies revulsion at the university of pennsylvania.
○ thirteen percent of people in a study said they would never try recycled water.
○ judgment and decision making has posted a study related to recycled water.

Explanation:

The author's claim is about people's reluctance to try recycled water. We need to find evidence that directly supports this. The option "Thirteen percent of people in a study said they would never try recycled water" gives a statistic from a study showing people's unwillingness, which matches the author's claim about people being hesitant (as 13% say they'd never try it). The other options: politicians' support is about policy, not people's behavior; Paul Rozin's study focus (revision) isn't about recycled water acceptance; the journal posting the study doesn't support the claim about people's reluctance.

Answer:

Thirteen percent of people in a study said they would never try recycled water.
