Explanation:

Analyze the target claim

The target claim is: "recreational sports are valuable because youth need to exercise daily." We need to find the sentence that directly supports the idea of youth needing daily exercise.

Evaluate sentence 1 and sentence 2

Using the Textual Evidence knowledge point

• Sentence (1) discusses school commitments and extracurricular activities generally.
• Sentence (2) discusses sedentary leisure activities like reading and video games.

Neither mentions daily exercise.

Evaluate sentence 3

Using the Textual Evidence knowledge point

• Sentence (3) states that the US Department of Agriculture recommends young people ages 6–17 engage in 60 minutes of physical activity each day.
• This directly provides authoritative evidence supporting the claim that youth need daily exercise.

Evaluate sentence 4

Using the Textual Evidence knowledge point

• Sentence (4) discusses how the specific amount of activity depends on caloric intake.
• This qualifies the amount of activity rather than supporting the general need for daily exercise.
