Claims and Evidence

Question 2 • LPA - AP English Language and Composition A - Davidson

An author wants to support the claim that a vegetarian diet is healthier than a meat-based diet. Which evidence is relevant to the argument?

Answer
A
facts about agricultural inspectors finding instances of animal cruelty
B
information about the crime conviction of a meat company’s CEO
C
an interview with a licensed dietician with years of experience
D
a comparison of organic and nonorganic farming practices
E
a discussion about the ease of cooking vegetarian dishes

Explanation

To support a claim about which diet is healthier, the evidence should come from a source qualified to discuss nutrition. A licensed dietician with years of experience can provide relevant information about the health effects of vegetarian and meat-based diets. The other choices focus on animal welfare, crime, farming practices, or convenience rather than comparing health effects.
