Question 4 • CA-English Language Arts 12 B – 1744

Which sentence from the text contains a statistic that can be used to support the claim and reason?

Answer
A
“. . . china tea sets became an essential part of the fashionable household, while less costly versions in pottery . . . spread through society.”
B
“As it got cheaper, tea also spread rapidly to the working classes.”
C
“. . . the average tea consumption per person in Britain was a staggering 6 lbs (3 kilograms) a year.”

Explanation

A statistic gives a measurable amount, often expressed with a number. Choice C states that the average person in Britain consumed 6 pounds (3 kilograms) of tea each year, so it provides numerical evidence. Choices A and B describe tea becoming fashionable or spreading, but they do not include a statistic.
