Answer

Brief Explanations:

The passage emphasizes the tradition of homemade - ness in bake sales and potluck dinners. The two claims that support the idea that all food items should be homemade are the preference for homemade foods (people enjoy them more) and the long - standing tradition of homemade food in these events. The ease of preparation of some homemade foods is not a strong argument for why all items should be homemade.

Answer:

  1. Studies show that people enjoy homemade foods more than they do store - bought items.
  2. The long tradition for both potlucks and bake sales is that the food is homemade.
