Read this prompt. Create a multimedia presentation for the claim that countries around the world need to increase food production to support a continually growing population. Use research and evidence to support your opinion. Use persuasive techniques and a variety of visual aids in your presentation. Which statement provides the best support for this claim?
Answer
A
Most farms produce chemical waste that is harmful to the environment and to people.
B
On average, 83 million people are added to the world’s population every year.
C
Small farmers are getting pushed out so that food production is limited to large farms.
D
Large grocery chains are expanding operations, so farms need to fulfill orders from them.
Explanation
The claim is that food production needs to increase because the population keeps growing. The fact that 83 million people are added to the world’s population each year directly shows that more people will need food. The other statements describe concerns or changes in farming and grocery businesses, but do not support the claim as directly.
