Question

question 7 of 20
which sentence would best support the claim that, in order to be healthier,
teenagers should avoid sodas and snacks made with sugar?
a. some teenagers cannot eat sugary snacks because of allergies
and diabetes.
b. studies show that high - sugar snacks can cause fatigue and
increase hunger.
c. many parents do not allow their children to eat sugar - filled snacks
and sodas.
d. buying fruit in bulk can make it as inexpensive as sugary snacks.

Explanation:

The claim is about teenagers being healthier by avoiding sugar - filled sodas and snacks. Option B provides evidence (from studies) of the negative health - related effects (fatigue and increased hunger) of high - sugar snacks. Option A is about allergies and diabetes (not a general health reason for all teenagers). Option C is about parents' actions, not a health - based reason. Option D is about cost, not health. So, B best supports the claim.

Answer:

B. Studies show that high - sugar snacks can cause fatigue and increase hunger.
