Responses
Plantation-grown coffee, which is produced quickly, began to meet the steep rise in demand.
Shade-grown coffee, which mimics the natural way coffee grows, preserves native plants and animals.
Cafes brew coffee using beans that come from all over the world.
Hot tea is a natural alternative beverage for coffee drinkers.
To determine which piece of evidence is the best support for the claim that people who brew coffee should buy beans that are grown naturally, we need to analyze each option and see which one provides the most relevant and convincing information.
Option 1: "Plantation-grown coffee, which is produced quickly, began to meet the steep rise in demand."
This statement does not directly support the claim about buying naturally grown coffee beans. It focuses on the rapid production and meeting the increasing demand for coffee, but it does not provide any information about the negative impact on the environment or the benefits of naturally grown coffee beans.
Option 2: "Shade-grown coffee, which mimics the natural way coffee grows, preserves native plants and animals."
This option directly supports the claim by highlighting the benefits of shade-grown coffee. It explains how this method mimics the natural way coffee grows and helps preserve native plants and animals. This evidence demonstrates a positive impact on the environment and aligns with the claim.
Option 3: "Cafes brew coffee using beans that come from all over the world."
This option does not provide any supporting evidence for the claim. While it mentions cafes using beans from different regions, it does not give any information about the environmental impact or the type of beans used.
Option 4: "Hot tea is a natural alternative beverage for coffee drinkers."
This option is not relevant to the claim. It suggests an alternative beverage for coffee drinkers but does not provide any evidence or information about the environmental impact of brewing coffee using naturally grown beans.
Based on the analysis, the best support for the claim is option 2: "Shade-grown coffee, which mimics the natural way coffee grows, preserves native plants and animals." This option directly addresses the claim's main point about reducing the negative impact on the environment by buying naturally grown coffee beans.
Shade-grown coffee, which mimics the natural way coffee grows, preserves native plants and animals.
