In this text, sentence 2 of the fact is used to disprove the myth. On the other hand, the two sections allow the reader to understand two perspectives on the same issue.
<h3>What is this text about?</h3>
This text focuses on bacteria growth and cooking by providing two perspectives:
- The myth, or common belief.
- The fact or scientific perspective.
<h3>What is the function of the second sentence in "fact"?</h3>
The sentence "because the drop in temperature allows bacteria to thrive" explains the reason why the myth is false.
<h3>Why are the two sections included?</h3>
It is likely the author wants to show the contrast between myth and reality and allow the reader to understand how cooking affects bacteria growth.
Note: This question is incomplete; here is the missing section:
Myth #8: Once food has been cooked, all the bacteria have been killed, so I don't need to worry once it's "done."
Fact: The possibility of bacterial growth actually increases after cooking, because the drop in temperature allows bacteria to thrive. This is why keeping cooked food warmed to the right temperature is critical for food safety.
