Question

read the claim below.
consumers should think twice before shopping online.
select the two pieces of evidence that best support this claim.
online shoppers can have almost any product shipped right to their front doors.
tons of cardboard and other packaging used by online retailers have ended up in landfills.
online shopping has generated more truck deliveries, which add harmful emissions to the air.
people between ages twenty - five and thirty - three spend more money online than any other age group.

Explanation:

The claim argues consumers should reconsider online shopping, so we need evidence of negative impacts of online shopping. The first option is a benefit of online shopping, and the last option only states spending habits without a negative consequence. The second option highlights excessive waste from packaging, and the third option notes increased harmful emissions from more deliveries—both are downsides that support the claim.

Answer:

B. Tons of cardboard and other packaging used by online retailers have ended up in landfills.
C. Online shopping has generated more truck deliveries, which add harmful emissions to the air.
