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 being critical for good health, and the evidence is the CDC's recommendation. The first option ("To maintain good health, you should exercise every week") directly connects the claim (weekly activity for health) with the evidence (CDC's weekly exercise recommendation) by restating the need for weekly exercise for health. The second option is about the CDC's reliability, which is about the source's credibility, not the connection between the claim and the evidence's content.

Answer:

The analysis that better explains the connection is: "To maintain good health, you should exercise every week."
