Question

read the opinion below.
people should not eat oysters.
select the reason that best supports this opinion.
like other shellfish, oysters may contain bacteria that can cause illness.
most oysters can be found in the shallow ocean near the coast.
like other shellfish, oysters are a healthy food that is low in fat.

Explanation:

The statement "People should not eat oysters" is an opinion. To support this opinion, a reason that highlights a negative aspect related to eating oysters is needed. The first option mentions that oysters (like other shellfish) may contain bacteria that can cause illness. This is a valid reason against eating oysters as it points out a potential health - risk. The second option about where oysters are found (shallow ocean near the coast) has no direct relation to whether people should or should not eat them. The third option, stating that oysters are a healthy food low in fat, is actually an argument in favor of eating oysters, not against it.

Answer:

Like other shellfish, oysters may contain bacteria that can cause illness.
