Question 14 • TX-English III

Samir wants to include this information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on a slide in his presentation.During 2013–2016, 36.6% of adults consumed fast food on a given day. The percentage of adults who consumed fast food decreased with age: 44.9% among younger adults aged 20–39, 37.7% among middle-aged adults aged 40–59, and 24.1% among older adults aged 60 and older.

Answer
A
Edit the paragraph to shorten each sentence.
B
Place the information in a table, organized by age group.
C
Add a photograph of different age groups eating fast food.
D
Set sentences apart from each other with bullet points.

Explanation

A table organized by age group makes the percentages easy to compare. It can show 44.9% for adults aged 20–39, 37.7% for ages 40–59, and 24.1% for ages 60 and older, while clearly presenting the overall 36.6% figure. Shortening the sentences or adding bullets would not make these comparisons as clear, and a photograph would not convey the data precisely.
