Question

read the speech. how could the speaker strengthen their argument against reusable water bottles? include data showing that the average reusable bottle requires 50 times more energy to produce than a single - use plastic bottle. provide a testimonial from a consumer who switched to a single reusable bottle for five years and noticed significant savings. add emotional language describing how plastic bottles harm wildlife in the ocean, creating urgency to reduce plastic waste.

Explanation:

Including data (like the energy - production comparison) provides objective evidence. Testimonials (like the consumer saving one) can be anecdotal and less generalizable. Emotional language (about plastic harming wildlife) is more about the problem of plastic waste in general rather than specifically against reusable bottles. Data is a strong form of evidence in an argument.

Answer:

Include data showing that the average reusable bottle requires 50 times more energy to produce than a single - use plastic bottle.
