Argument 1: Children who play sports are often healthier as adults. Adult Health recently published a survey that shows 82 percent of healthy adults participated in sports when they were children. Argument 2: Children who play sports are often healthier as adults. The Family Gym website states, "Children can swim or play in the ball pit while their parents exercise in the gym or take group fitness classes." Which argument is supported by relevant evidence, and how?
O A. Argument 1, because the quote supports the claim that children can get exercise while their parents are working out O B. Argument 2, because the quote supports the claim that children can get exercise while their parents are working out O C. Argument 2, because the example supports the claim that children who play sports become healthier adults O D. Argument 1, because the example supports the claim that children who play sports become healthier adults

D. Argument 1, because the example supports the claim that children who play sports become healthier adults.

Explanation:

The argument that is supported by relevant evidence is the first one. It relies on a survey according to which children who play sports become healthier adults. It includes the correct causal relationship - a type of relationship where one thing causes another thing to happen.

This type of relationship isn't present in the second argument. Children getting exercise while their parents work out isn't really related to them being healthier as adults. Them swimming from time to time or playing in a ball pit can't be considered playing sports and will not contribute to their development.

This is why option D is the correct one.

quite an interesting way to teach topic sentences, because the answer to this question is the best definition of a topic sentence that one can present, it is as if answering the questions taught you how to do it, this is some real teaching, it is terribly well-done.

the topic sentence in this paragraph is:

topic sentences writers stay on track and keep a paragraph from becoming an aimless collection of sentences about an idea.

which incidentally tells you what a topic sentence should be.
