Question 8 • Language Arts 9

Which is the most effective piece of evidence to support the claim that adolescents who exercise daily are healthier than those who are inactive?

Answer
A
Adolescents enjoy different types of activities, such as dance, martial arts, or team sports.
B
There are three categories of exercise that adolescents should partake in: aerobic, muscle-strengthening, and bone-strengthening.
C
Spending too much time on the couch watching television can have negative consequences for adolescents.
D
Adolescents who exercise daily have stronger muscles, higher levels of respiratory fitness, and lower levels of body fat.

Explanation

The claim compares the health of adolescents who exercise daily with those who are inactive. The strongest evidence directly describes health benefits among daily exercisers: stronger muscles, better respiratory fitness, and lower body fat. Choice A discusses possible harms of inactivity, but D more directly supports the claim by identifying several measurable health advantages of exercising.
