Question

which evidence would support an author’s essay on the importance of banning fast food from school campuses?
○ fast food has negative effects on student health and can lead to obesity and heart - related issues.
○ schools must remove the fast - food items from their lunch programs and replace them with healthy options.
○ fast foods and junk foods are major sources of income for some schools already suffering from budget cuts.
○ removing fast foods from our schools would be a big step toward creating a healthy environment for students.

Explanation:

To support the essay on banning fast food from school campuses, we need evidence that shows a negative impact of fast food. The first option states that fast food has negative health effects on students (obesity, heart - related issues), which directly supports the need to ban it. The second option is a recommendation, not evidence. The third option gives a reason to keep fast food (income source), which is against the essay's argument. The fourth option is a conclusion about the result of banning, not evidence for why to ban.

Answer:

A. Fast food has negative effects on student health and can lead to obesity and heart - related issues.
