Researching to Write an Expository Essay about the Benefits of Humor — Quiz
Question 2 • English Language Arts 10
Panyin wants to use this research for her expository essay. Because organic foods are produced with few or no pesticides, organic foods are less likely to have harmful effects than conventional foods. Which topic sentence is best supported by this research?
Answer
A
Research shows that organic farms can coexist with traditional farms, to the benefit of both.
B
Research shows that people who consume organic foods with no pesticides will live longer.
C
Research shows that organic foods pose less danger to human health than nonorganic foods.
D
Research shows that pesticides used on fruit trees can have a negative impact on farmers.
Explanation
The research says organic foods are less likely to have harmful effects because they are produced with few or no pesticides. This supports the broader claim that organic foods pose less danger to human health than nonorganic foods. Choice B goes too far by claiming that people who eat pesticide-free organic foods will live longer, which the research does not establish.
