Question

water
in the past 10 years, public consumption of bottled
water has grown a lot. a decade ago, very few people
drank much bottled water. now, studies estimate that
about 200 bottles of water per person are consumed
every year. however, all that bottled water is causing a lot
of problems. first of all, very few of the bottles are being
recycled. about 60 million bottles of water are consumed
daily. there just is not enough room for all that garbage.
secondly, bottled water is actually less safe than tap
water. government safety requirements are much stricter
for tap water. a large percentage of bottled water comes
straight from city water supplies, anyway! and,
surprisingly, tap water often beats bottled water in taste
tests.
which sentence from the paragraph supports the idea that bottled water is causing a lot of problems?
a. \about 60 million bottles of water are consumed daily.\
b. \a decade ago, very few people drank much bottled water.\
c. \there just is not enough room for all that garbage.\
d. \a large percentage of bottled water comes straight from city water supplies, anyway!\
