The correct answer is 3
Explanation:
Sentence 3 "The US Department of Agriculture recommends that young people ages 6–17 should engage in 60 minutes of physical activity each day" focuses on the importance that young people exercise daily by explaining the time they should spend in exercising and establishing an age rate.
In this context, sentence 3 is ideal to support the point "recreational sports are valuable because youth need to exercise daily" because it directly explains and proves the importance for young people to exercise every day. Also, it is an appropriate piece of evidence because the US Department of Agriculture is an authority in nutrition, healthy habits, and similar.

The English language is the result of the blending of several languages into one. These are the stages in the formation of the language:
- Old English: first appeared during the early Middle Ages (550-1066 AD). It was a Germanic dialect spoken by the Angle, Saxon and Jute invaders of the ancient Roman Britain. It became predominant and also adopted several words of Brittonic and Latin in its <em>lexicon</em>.
- Middle English: in 1066 the French Norman William the Conqueror invaded and subjugated England. Old French Norman would be the language of the Royal Court and the civil administration until the 16th century (1150-1500 AD). During this time a large influx of French and Latin words entered the English lexicon. Nowadays, 28 percent of English words come from French and 29 % come from Latin but the grammatical structure remains undoubtedly Germanic and the most commonly and most often used words are Germanic.
- Early Modern English: it gradually replaced French in the court and administrations between the years 1500 – 1750 AD. Three was a Great Vowel Shift during this period, when pronunciation of vowels completely changed but no one knows yet why or how it occurred.
- Late Modern English: 1750-1900 AD. The modern language was already formed with an influx of non-European words coming from the British Empire colonies.
- Contemporary English 1900 – now. Than language as we know it nowadays.
For me, personally, the genre I enjoy most and which is by far my favorite genre is fantasy. The works in this genre are The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien, A Song of Ice and Fire by George Martin, The Dark Tower by Stephen King, etc. What I like about this genre, apart from all the fantastic creatures and magic, is definitely the heroism and strength of many characters, who go through many perils throughout their quest. And of course, there are dragons. :)
There are some downsides to it, of course. If you don't like unrealistic situations, this is definitely not for you. Characters may often be portrayed as either good or bad, and you know that in the end, good always wins, which is not always the most interesting ending.
