Question

select the correct answer
roland has written the following sentences to explain the relationship between the claim in his research paper and possible counterclaim.
a healthy lifestyle is dependent upon a well - balanced diet full of nutrient - rich foods and regular exercise. daily exercise allows people to have a
diet of whatever food items they want
which choice best shows how roland can revise the sentences to clarify the relationship between his claim and the counterclaim?
a. daily exercise allows some people to eat whatever they want, but they should still eat a well - balanced diet full of nutrient - rich foods.
b. eating nutrient - rich foods and exercising regularly allows for \cheat days\ every once in a while, when people can eat any foods
they choose.
c. while some people believe that daily exercise cancels out unhealthy eating, the only true way to achieve a healthy lifestyle is
through both a well - balanced diet and regular exercise
d. while some people believe that daily exercise allows for unhealthy eating habits, other people believe that eating healthy foods is
necessary for a healthy lifestyle.

Explanation:

This question requires clarifying the relationship between a claim (healthy lifestyle needs balanced diet + regular exercise) and a counterclaim (daily exercise lets people eat whatever they want). Option C explicitly frames the counterclaim ("some people believe that daily exercise cancels out unhealthy eating") and clearly states the original claim as the correct position, which directly clarifies the relationship between the two. Option A downplays the counterclaim, Option B rephrases without clear counterclaim framing, and Option D presents both as equal beliefs rather than establishing the original claim as the valid one.

Answer:

C. While some people believe that daily exercise cancels out unhealthy eating, the only true way to achieve a healthy lifestyle is through both a well-balanced diet and regular exercise
