Question 1290 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B
Read the sample post.Given the composition of the human body, the idea that consuming eight glasses of water per day could be sufficient is ludicrous. Who in their right mind could truly believe that a body could survive on just eight glasses per day when the body itself is made of a very high percentage of water? Furthermore, it’s not as though it’s particularly hard to carry a water bottle with you and drink regularly throughout the day; in fact, this is the minimum you should be expected to do to maintain your health. Twelve glasses per day should be the goal for any reasonable human being, and it is my greatest hope that you, as a reader of this book, are indeed a reasonable person.– "Maximize Water to Maximize Health” by Tim Johnson, eReader Self-Publications, 2020
Answer
A
Yes, because it is a trusted source.
B
Yes, because it uses informal language.
C
No, because it uses current research.
D
No, because the information is unverifiable.
Explanation
The post makes health claims—such as saying twelve glasses of water should be everyone’s goal—but gives no research, evidence, or reliable source to support them. Its reasoning that the body contains a lot of water does not prove how much each person should drink. Since the information cannot be verified from the post, the best choice is “No, because the information is unverifiable.”
