Question

in \water flowing from toilet to tap may be hard to swallow,\ what reasons does schwartz give to support his claim? select two options.
\water recycling is common for uses like irrigation; purple pipes in many california towns deliver water to golf courses, zoos and farms.\
\enticing people to drink recycled water, however, requires getting past what experts call the yuck factor.\
\in november, the san diego city council voted for a $2.9 billion pure water program to provide a third of the citys daily needs by 2035.\
\the processes... that clean the water include microfiltration that strains out anything larger than 0.2 microns, removing almost all suspended solids, bacteria and protozoa.\
\people tend to judge risk emotionally, he said, and a phrase like toilet to tap can undercut earnest explanations.\

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The question asks for reasons Schwartz gives to support his claim in the article about recycled water.

  1. The option about advanced cleaning processes (microfiltration) supports that recycled water is safe to drink, which backs the claim of toilet-to-tap water viability.
  2. The option about emotional risk judgment and the "toilet to tap" phrase undermining explanations supports the claim that public acceptance is hard, a key point in the article.

Other options either state common non-potable recycling, the "yuck factor" (a restatement of the acceptance issue not a supporting reason), or a city program (a specific action not a supporting reason for the core claim).

Answer:

  • "The processes . . . that clean the water include microfiltration that strains out anything larger than 0.2 microns, removing almost all suspended solids, bacteria and protozoa."
  • "People tend to judge risk emotionally, he said, and a phrase like 'toilet to tap' can undercut earnest explanations."
