Read the excerpt from "Healthy Eating." But no one can ignore the damage being wrought by all this bad eating. More than one out

of three adults in the United States -- 37.5 percent -- are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

With more than a third of kids between 6 and 19 considered obese, the CDC reports, they are at substantially more risk for developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, bone and joint conditions, and cancer. The author's argument that a poor diet can be harmful to a person's health is
A. ineffective, because it lacks clear and reasonable evidence.
B. ineffective, because it leaves the reader with questions. effective, because it
C. addresses and refutes a counterclaim.

Answer:

D. effective, because it includes facts from a credible source.

Explanation:

The author uses facts from the CDC. The CDC is considered a credible source because it is a government organization that bases it's decisions on scientific research. Option C is incorrect because we don't know if it is addressing a counterclaim. there isn't enough information in this excerpt for us to know.

Hi.
Butoxors [25]

Perhaps take from my answer. Sorry if this isn't good, i'm a bit tired. You can add on and change up the words. I was unsure what was exactly wanted for this.

Answer:

Hello, as the speaker of this, I say the motion is correct. Modern movies are run by acting and scripts, while people are off script and anything could truly happen. Younger people tend to leach from what they see on T.V. and from elders, thus certain movies may give them bad views. Say with common action movies: That would most likely give the person a taste of violence as an answer. Humans can be violent, but are not always fighting like how thrillers and action movies show. People do break out into fights, just not like that. If someone was trying to figure out how some commonly interact and behave from a movie, it wouldn't be a good choice, since that would provide the wrong view. Unless it's a documentary or educational film, modern movies do indeed give a bad model. It is understandable for others to have different opinions on this matter, this is my own. Thank you for your time.
