They were a pretty selfish bunch, often with additional antisocial tendencies thrown into the bargain--in other words, not exactly role models for the younger generation of today. But knowing their names and exploits is essential for understanding references in literature and even popular culture today. So let's recognize and celebrate Hercules and Perseus and the others by their proper dictionary definition: "In mythology and legend, a man or woman, often of divine ancestry, who is endowed with great courage and strength, celebrated for his or her bold exploits, and favored by the gods."

topjm [15]

This question is incomplete because the information about the research is not included; here is the complete question:

Panyin wants to use this research for her informative essay. Because organic foods are produced with few or no pesticides, organic foods are less likely to have harmful effects than conventional foods.

Which topic sentence is best supported by this research?

A. Research shows that organic farms can coexist with traditional farms, to the benefit of both.

B. Research shows that organic foods pose less danger to human health than non-organic foods.

C. Research shows that people who consume organic foods with no pesticides will live longer.

D. Research shows that pesticides used on fruit trees can have a negative impact on farmers.

The correct answer B. Research shows that organic foods pose less danger to human health than non-organic foods.

Explanation:

The research Panyin found shows organic food might have less negative effects than those that are non-organic due to the use of pesticides in non-organic foods. In this context, this evidence would best help Panyin to support the idea "Research shows that organic foods pose less danger to human health than non-organic foods" because the evidence is directly related to this main idea as both focus on the effects of non-organic foods in human healthy. Thus, this is the topic sentence this research directly supports.
