Read this excerpt from an argument supporting the claim that the government should limit the amount of sugar in sugary drinks. (1) consuming too much sugar can lead to dangerous medical conditions. (2) for example, people may develop obesity, tooth decay, or adult-onset diabetes. which statement most accurately describes the relationship between the ideas in the two sentences? sentence 1 states the cause of the ideas in sentence 2. sentence 1 is a claim, and sentence 2 lists supporting reasons. sentence 2 states a conclusion drawn from the ideas in sentence 1. sentence 2 provides supporting evidence for the reason stated in sentence 1.

The correct answer is D. Sentence 2 provides supporting evidence for the reason stated in sentence 1.

Explanation:

In writing, a claim refers to a statement or assertion the author aims to prove through multiple reasons and evidence. In this case, the main claim is that "the government should limit the amount of sugar in sugary drinks" and sentences 1 and 2 have been provided to support it. In the case of Sentence 1 "Consuming too much sugar can lead to dangerous medical conditions" this sentence is a reason that supports the idea of limiting the amount of sugar, while sentence 2 "For example, people may develop obesity, tooth decay, or adult-onset diabetes" provides evidence by using examples of the illnesses sugary drinks can cause. This means sentence 1 is a reason and sentence 2 provides evidence or it or that "Sentence 2 provides supporting evidence for the reason stated in sentence 1".

there on the beach was a struggling turtle.   around its bright green neck was a loop of soda can rings.   in order to the planet, i have made a few changes to my life.   the first change is reducing the number of straws used. the second change was to recycle.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.

you may not think straws have a large impact but they do.   imagine for every straw you sip out of a poor, , adorable turtle is being harmed.   one way i chipped in to is by using metal straws.   these straws are reusable and inexpensive.   another change is simply turning down straws.   by refusing a straw, i’m the turtles one drink at a time.  

however, the ocean just doesn't have turtles.   there are lots of creatures that live there and are harmed by all the litter.   to prevent litter from growing it’s important to recycle.   for me, i have started to buy most goods that are made out of recycled material.   pura vidas, chacos, purses, and too many other items to even count.   plus, when you buy those products they give money to charities.   not only am i the environment, but i’m also feeling better about my self.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.
