Question

salars is the most sustainable method for acquiring lithium to use in rechargeable batteries. 2) choose two pieces of evidence from the reading that you think best supports the claim you made (2 points) evidence 1 salars are too salty to have anything living in them so, animals are not hurt when mining happens evidence 2 lithium extraction from salars is limited, it is best in places with lots of sun, low humidity and rainfall, and moderately intense winds, such as arid regions of south a 3) explain how each piece of evidence you chose supports your claim (4 points) 1. salars are too salty to have anything living in them so, animals are not hurt when mining happens, this means that salars are more sustainable because this is a benefit for the environment limited, it is best in places with lots of sun, low humidity and rainfall, and moderately intense winds, such as arid this is a benefit for the economy this is a cost for the economy d states, and the middle east, this means salars are more sustainable because

Explanation:

For Evidence 2 Explanation:

1. Analyze the evidence content: The evidence says lithium extraction from salars is limited to areas with specific natural conditions (sun, low humidity, etc.). These are natural, renewable - like sun and wind are renewable resources, and using areas with such natural setups means the extraction relies on natural, sustainable elements. Also, the limitation in extraction (maybe in terms of over - extraction) can be a sign of sustainability as it doesn't deplete resources too quickly.
2. Relate to the claim: The claim is that salars are the most sustainable method for lithium acquisition. The fact that extraction is limited to areas with natural, sustainable - friendly conditions (and the process can be in harmony with the natural environment) and the reliance on natural resources (sun, wind) which are sustainable, supports the idea that salars are more sustainable. And from an economic perspective, using areas with these natural conditions can be a benefit for the economy as it can utilize existing natural resources without high - cost artificial setups. So we choose "this is a benefit for the economy" as the reason.

Filling the Blanks:

For the part "this means \(\boldsymbol{\text{Salars are MORE sustainable}}\) because \(\boldsymbol{\text{this is a benefit for the economy}}\)" (the first dropdown is already set to "Salars are MORE sustainable", and we choose "this is a benefit for the economy" from the dropdown for the reason).

Final Answers for the Blanks (for Evidence 2 explanation):

• The first dropdown (after "this means"): Salars are MORE sustainable (already selected as per the dropdown in the problem, but if we were to choose, this is the correct one).
• The second dropdown (after "because"): this is a benefit for the economy.
