Question

mr. tylers class is having a discussion about whether sugary drinks should be sold at an upcoming school event. one student says, \sugary drinks are not nutritious and can cause many health problems.\ which would be an appropriate follow - up question to ask this student? \do you have a favorite recipe for fresh fruit smoothies?\ \what are the health problems caused by sugary drinks?\ \dont you think alternatives are a lot more expensive?\ \how do you know so much about nutrition?\

Explanation:

The student made a claim about sugary drinks causing health problems. An appropriate follow - up question should seek more details about that claim.

• The first option ("Do you have a favorite recipe for fresh fruit smoothies?") is off - topic as it's about fruit smoothies, not the health problems of sugary drinks.
• The second option ("What are the health problems caused by sugary drinks?") directly asks for elaboration on the claim made by the student about health problems, which is relevant to the discussion.
• The third option ("Don't you think alternatives are a lot more expensive?") is about the cost of alternatives, not the health problems of sugary drinks.
• The fourth option ("How do you know so much about nutrition?") is about the student's knowledge source, not the health problems of sugary drinks.

Answer:

"What are the health problems caused by sugary drinks?"
