Question

read the claim and the supporting evidence.
claim: parents should limit the sugar-sweetened beverages their children drink.
evidence: sugar-sweetened beverages can contribute to health problems such as heart disease and diabetes.
why does the evidence support the claim? choose the analysis that better explains the connection.
sugar-sweetened beverages are often marketed to children through television and print advertisements.
parents are obligated to take steps to protect the health of their children.

Explanation:

La primera opción habla sobre el mercadeo de bebidas endulzadas, lo que no explica por qué los padres deberían limitar su consumo. La segunda opción establece que los padres tienen la obligación de proteger la salud de sus hijos. Dado que las bebidas endulzadas con azúcar contribuyen a problemas de salud, esta obligación justifica que los padres limiten su consumo, conectando la evidencia (problemas de salud) con la afirmación (limitar el consumo).

Answer:

Parents are obligated to take steps to protect the health of their children.
