Question

Which statement best represents reasonable evidence to support the claim that America is too dependent on foreign oil?

An effort to reduce America’s dependence on oil will unite our nation.
Most of the oil America uses comes from foreign countries.
The productivity of workers in America has been decreasing.
The oil crisis isn’t just America’s problem; it is a worldwide problem.

Answer 1

B). Most of the oil America uses comes from foreign countries.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement regarding the 'majority of America's demand for oil is catered by oil coming from foreign countries' reflects that the nation is extremely dependent on the oil brought from foreign countries. It signals that the country is unable to fulfill the oil demand of its people itself and forced to import oil from other countries in order to meet the demand. Thus, option B correctly substantiates the claim and hence, option B is the correct answer.
