A writer uses the following evidence to support an argument to ban bottled water in schools: The number of empty plastic bottles that do not get recycled Which answer most clearly connects the claim to the evidence? Drinking water is definitely a healthier alternative than soda; however, students rarely recycle their used water bottles, and not only is this a problem for the environment, but also the trash cans are overflowing with water bottles. I like the idea of kids drinking more water, but I think bottled water should be banned in schools. Most kids don't recycle their water bottles, and that will have a very negative long-term effect on our environment. I'm all for increasing healthy options in the vending machines, but when the school reports 230 bottles of water sold in a week and only 12 of those get recycled, I think there are other issues to consider besides health. It is true that providing bottled water at school is a good idea; however, we should consider how detrimental this idea is for the beauty of our school grounds. Instead of recycling, 75% of students throw their bottles on the ground.

This is the answer because the evidence he used was the number of water bottles that do not get recycled and this is the only claim that includes that evidence.
