refer to \youth and tobacco use\ in the lesson for a complete version of this text. many informational texts use bulleted lists preceded by headings, subheadings, or sentences of text. for example: national, state, and local program activities have been shown to reduce and prevent youth tobacco use when implemented together. they include the following: • higher costs for tobacco products (for example, through increased taxes) • prohibiting smoking in indoor areas of work sites and public places • raising the minimum age of sale for tobacco products to 21 years, which has recently emerged as a potential strategy for reducing youth tobacco use what is the connection between the sentence that starts, \national, state, and local program activities...\ and the bulleted list? ○ the preceding sentence asks a question and the bulleted list answers it. ○ each bullet point offers a different opinion on the main claim of the sentence. ○ the sentence presents a claim and the bulleted list addresses counterclaims.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
The sentence “National, state, and local program activities have been shown to reduce and prevent youth tobacco use when implemented together. They include the following:” makes a claim that there are program activities that reduce youth tobacco use. The bulleted list then provides specific examples (higher tobacco costs, indoor smoking bans, raising sale age) that support the claim made in the sentence. The first option is wrong as the sentence doesn't ask a question. The second option is wrong as the bullet points are examples/support, not different opinions. The third option is wrong as the bullet points are not counter - claims but supporting details.
Answer:
None of the provided options are correct. The sentence presents a claim (program activities reduce youth tobacco use) and the bulleted list provides examples/supporting details for that claim.
