Question

Read the excerpt from "Water Flowing from Toilet to Tap May Be Hard to Swallow.”

Answer 1

The evidence in the excerpt that supports Schwartz's claim is:

• "But after all that, 13 percent of adult Americans say they would absolutely refuse to even try recycled water, according to a recent study in the journal Judgment and Decision Making."
• "'A small minority of people are very offended by this, and can slow it down or stop it because of legal and political forces,' said Paul Rozin, a psychology professor at the University of Pennsylvania who studies revulsion and a co-author of the study."
• "Opponents of reusing water have long had the upper hand, said Paul Slovic, a professor of psychology at the University of Oregon, because of the 'branding problem.'"

What is the claim in the passage?

The claim in this passage is that the opponents of water recycling dissent from it because of the problem of branding.

In the quotes cited above, we can see that 13% of adults in America have this view. The other pieces of evidence mention the small minority of opponents who also hold the same view.
