Opponents of reusing water have long had the upper hand, said paul slovic, a professor of psychology at the university of oregon, because of the “branding problem.” people tend to judge risk emotionally, he said, and a phrase like “toilet to tap” can undercut earnest explanations. “the water industry has not been good at marketing reuse,” he added. but research has shown that highlighting the benefits of recycled water—and the need—can shift emotions to a more positive reaction and diminish the sense of risk. –“water flowing from toilet to tap may be hard to swallow,” john schwartz which statement is a correct evaluation of the evidence in the passage? it is sound because it cites an expert’s opinion. it is not valid because it uses irrelevant information. it is logical because it includes statistics and other scientific data. it is illogical because it does not connect the reader back to the claim.

It is sound because it cites an expert’s opinion.

Explanation:

The paragraph bases its argument on the research and explanation of the psychology professor John Schwartz, who defines the low reuse of water as a "branding problem" since those who are responsible for carrying out the process have not done enough marketing to change the negative perception that this has.

The other response options are not correct since:

1. The paragraph does use relevant information to verify the argument.

2. The paragraph is logical but does not use statistical data or other scientific data to explain its argument.

3. It is logical since he develops the argument with the respective evidence.

It is sound because it cites an expert’s opinion.

explanation:

the hunger games, written by  suzanne collins, is fiction in the young adult genre, which is not my age group, but i found myself unable to put it down. its combination of nerve-racking tension, thrilling action, and engaging love story kept me up until the wee hours. i was surprised at how completely engrossing the plot was. like  brave new world, this story is set in a future where the government oppresses its people, but the book also borrows ideas from the greek myth of theseus and the minotaur.

divided into 12 districts, ruled by an oppressive government located at the  capitol. katniss everdeen, a 16-year-old girl from district 12, takes her younger sister’s place as one of 24 “tributes” selected every year to participate in the hunger games at the capitol.

while i found this book absolutely enthralling, i was surprised it was aimed at an audience of young adults. it seems extremely intense for anyone younger than 16 or 17. for example, there is a scene where one young tribute is slowly eaten alive by wolf-like creatures all night long, and katniss has to finally throw a weapon at him to end his misery. i found this a little too disturbing when i considered the age of the character.

the intensity of the action was something one would find in a more mature book, but the age of the characters and the simplicity of the prose were aimed at a much younger audience. in addition, this book was written in present tense, which i found annoying, but that’s more of a personal preference than a stylistic fault. it was also edited somewhat poorly, but that rarely distracted from the plot. for example, the author often spoke in sentence fragments to describe how katniss felt, which might have been an attempt to reflect on her thought process, but i found it disorienting to read a lot of really short sentences all together. it would have been better to vary the sentence length on occasion, but the story was still coherently.

overall,  the hunger games  was an excellent, enthralling read that i highly recommend. if it was more clearly marked for older teens, it would have been better, but it was a fantastic book with a wonderfully creative plot.

happy to .

pls mark as brainliest.
