Question

Processed foods make up 50 percent of the current

American diet. Though they are inexpensive and
convenient, especially when you are in a hurry and just
don't have time to make dinner from scratch, processed
foods are unhealthy and contribute to a variety of health
problems. A diet high in processed foods such as boxed
macaroni and cheese, which are yummy but really not
good for you, has been linked to both diabetes and obesity.
Processed foods are also sources of Butylated
hydroxytoluene (BHT) and Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA),
two chemical additives that sound very scary and which
are known to cause cancer in humans.

Answer 1

B. two chemical additives that sound very scary

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

This statement is fluff because it says very little or nothing at all that is useful to the passage. It is clear from reading the names of the additives that they are chemicals, but it is even more unnecessary to say that they sound scary. This opinion does not add any substance to the piece and is distracting since at most it expresses the opinion of the author and at worse results in a disjointed description.
