Question 3 (1 point)

Answer 1

Answer: Source 2 states “Economists say, obesity and its consequences cost our society $190 billion annually in health care and lost productivity, so health officials increasingly want to find equally effective strategies to discourage people from over-consuming sugary drinks and fast food.”

Explanation:

A piece of evidence is proof that the notion being argued by a person is factual. This proof is the result of research and experiments that show that it is indeed true.

The above constitutes a piece of evidence because it cites proof from Economists who are academics and so must have researched the figures they gave about obesity before presenting it to the public.
