Question

question 5 1 pts which of the following is an explicit statement, not an inference? recycling helps conserve natural resources. people recycle only because they are forced to. cities reward people because they want to make money. recycling is more fun than throwing things away.

Explanation:

An explicit statement is a direct, factual claim. "Recycling helps conserve natural resources" is a well - established, factual statement. The other options are inferences or subjective opinions. For example, "People recycle only because they are forced to" assumes a motivation (being forced) that isn't directly observable in all cases. "Cities reward people because they want to make money" infers a city's motivation (making money) which may not be the only or actual reason. "Recycling is more fun than throwing things away" is a subjective opinion about an activity's enjoyment.

Answer:

Recycling helps conserve natural resources.
