Answer 1

Answer:

A. Studies show that high-sugar snacks can cause fatigue and increase hunger.

Explanation:

This sentence is the only one that in a logical and coherent way supports the claim. As the claim refers to teenagers' health related to sugar in snacks, the supporting sentence must give an example of a health problem caused by sugar consumption. We can see that it succesfully does it by showing that high-sugar snacks cause fatigue and more hunger. It addreses the two variables found in the claim. It also appeals to science to make it's point, this is empirical evidence that the reader can compare or find in a research done by an expert. This gives legitimacy to the argument.

Answer 2

The answer would be choice A because the proof is coming from a study done over high-sugar snacks, meaning the proof is certified.
