Question

read the claim and the supporting evidence.
claim: weekly physical activity is critical to good health.
evidence: the cdc recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week.
why does the evidence support the claim? choose the analysis that better explains the connection.
to maintain good health, you should exercise every week.
the cdc is a highly reliable source for health recommendations.

Explanation:

To determine why the evidence supports the claim, we analyze the options. The claim is about weekly physical activity and good health. The evidence is a CDC recommendation. The first option restates the claim - evidence link but doesn't explain why the evidence (CDC's recommendation) supports the claim. The second option explains that the CDC is a reliable health - recommendation source, so its recommendation (150 minutes of weekly aerobic activity) gives credibility to the claim that weekly physical activity is critical for good health.

Answer:

The CDC is a highly reliable source for health recommendations.
