Question

review the water quality report and then answer the question. springdales drinking water comes from the russell river. the watershed begins on the slopes of mount eagle and flows nearly eighty - five miles from the rivers headwaters. naturally occurring fluoride in the russell river is less than 0.5 ppm (parts per million), which is the detection limit for analyzing fluoride. the water is made safe to drink through conventional treatment methods and consistent monitoring. which best indicates that the primary audience is residents of springdale? the writer uses the technical abbreviation ppm and notes the detection limit for analyzing fluoride. the writer specifies that the russell river flows down the slopes of mount eagle. the writer tries to make springdales water sound appealing. the writer defines unfamiliar terms (ppm) and informs readers that the water is safe.

Explanation:

Residents are likely non - technical readers. Defining the technical term "ppm" and reassuring about water safety caters to their need for clear and accessible information. Technical jargon without explanation would be less suitable for a general audience of residents. Mentioning the river's source or making water sound appealing is not as indicative of targeting residents as providing clear and understandable safety - related information.

Answer:

The writer defines unfamiliar terms (ppm) and informs readers that the water is safe.
