Question

read the claim and the supporting evidence. claim: highly restrictive diets are not conducive to optimal health. evidence: different foods contain different combinations of key nutrients. why does the evidence support the claim? choose the analysis that better explains the connection. good health requires a wide range of nutrients. every meal should include a variety of healthy foods.

Explanation:

The claim is about restrictive diets and optimal health. The evidence mentions different foods have different nutrient - combinations. The idea that good health requires a wide range of nutrients directly links to why restrictive diets (which may limit food variety and thus nutrient variety) are not conducive to optimal health. The second statement about every meal is more about meal - building rather than directly explaining the link between restrictive diets and optimal health.

Answer:

Good health requires a wide range of nutrients.
