Question

read this sentence from an argumentative essay that supports restricting high-sugar foods.
one of the reasons to restrict high sugar foods is that consuming too much sugar over time can lead to diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
where would be the most appropriate place in the essay for this sentence?

• thesis
• counterclaim
• body paragraph
• concluding sentence

Explanation:

The sentence provides a reason (health risks from excess sugar) to support restricting high - sugar foods. A thesis is the main claim, a counterclaim opposes the main argument, and a concluding sentence wraps up. Body paragraphs present reasons/evidence for the thesis, so this sentence belongs in a body paragraph.

Answer:

C. body paragraph
