Question

use the sentence to answer the question.

electric cars are better for the environment than gas-powered cars.

which are pieces of evidence that support the claim? select the two correct answers.
(1 point)
□ gas-powered cars create pollution through tailpipe emissions, while electric cars do not.
□ electric cars are best used for short trips, as they need to recharge more frequently than gas-powered cars need to refuel.
□ electric cars are more fun to drive than gas-powered cars.
□ electric cars tend to cost more money than gas-powered cars.
□ electric cars need fewer parts than gas-powered cars, which saves natural resources.

Explanation:

1. The first option directly contrasts pollution from gas-powered cars (tailpipe emissions) with electric cars' lack of this pollution, which supports the claim that electric cars are better for the environment.
2. The last option states electric cars use fewer parts, saving natural resources, which is an environmental benefit that supports the claim.
3. The other options discuss practical limitations (short trips), subjective preference (fun to drive), and cost, which do not relate to environmental impact.

Answer:

A. Gas-powered cars create pollution through tailpipe emissions, while electric cars do not.
E. Electric cars need fewer parts than gas-powered cars, which saves natural resources.
