(4) And fix that leaky faucet! (5) At a rate of one drop per second, you’re wasting 2,700 gallons per year. How is sentence 5 related to Darrin’s position on water conservation? A It explains Darrin’s position that most people won’t take measures to limit their water usage. B It contradicts Darrin’s position in admitting that one drop per second is not very much water. C It contrasts Darrin’s position with those of his classmates, who are against water conservation.
