Question

read the claim below. the united states should invest more in large - scale, or industrial, farming. select the two pieces of evidence that best support this claim. large - scale farming contributes to local economies by generating jobs in addition to revenue. large - scale farming drives smaller family - owned farms out of business, putting families at risk. large - scale farming allows farmers to produce more food with less money, making food cheaper for consumers. over ninety percent of farming operations in the united states are owned by families rather than corporations.

Explanation:

To support the claim that the U.S. should invest more in large-scale farming, we need evidence of its benefits.

1. "Large-scale farming contributes to local economies by generating jobs in addition to revenue" shows economic benefits, which supports investment.
2. "Large-scale farming allows farmers to produce more food with less money, making food cheaper for consumers" highlights efficiency and consumer benefits, supporting investment.

The other two points either describe a negative consequence or a unrelated fact about current farm ownership, which do not support the claim.

Answer:

1. Large-scale farming contributes to local economies by generating jobs in addition to revenue.
2. Large-scale farming allows farmers to produce more food with less money, making food cheaper for consumers.
