Question

13 percent of adult americans say they would absolutely refuse to even try recycled water, according to a recent study in the journal judgment and decision making. \a small minority of people are very offended by this, and can slow it down or stop it because of legal and political forces,\ said paul rozin, a psychology professor at the university of pennsylvania who studies revulsion and a co - author of the study.

• \water flowing from toilet to tap may be hard to swallow,\ john schwartz

which piece of evidence best supports the authors 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 recent study related to recycled water.

Explanation:

To determine the best supporting evidence, we analyze each option:

• The first option about politicians supporting wastewater use is irrelevant to the author's claim about people's refusal to try recycled water.
• The second option about Paul Rozin's study focus (revulsion) doesn't directly support the claim about people's refusal to try recycled water.
• The third option states that 13 percent of people in a study said they would never try recycled water, which directly aligns with the author's claim (from the passage: "13 percent of adult Americans say they would absolutely refuse to even try recycled water").
• The fourth option about the journal posting a study is just background info and doesn't support the claim about people's attitudes.

Answer:

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