Question

Younique is writing an essay in favor of recycling to reduce garbage in the ocean. Which piece of evidence is least relevant to her argument? 1. Litter is not only ugly, but also harmful to animals in national parks 2. Millions of plastic water bottles end up in the ocean each year, adding to the millions already there and not decomposing. 3. Recycling has become easier with many public places including recycling bins right next to all garbage cans. 4. Plastic that hasn't been recycled has extremely harmful effects to the wildlife that live in the ocean.

Answer 1

1. Litter is not only ugly but also harmful to animals in national parks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option number one is the least important piece of evidence in Younqique's essay because it is not giving information about how garbage and not recycling can affect the oceans. The statement is talking about animals in general and not giving specific evidence about how animals in the sea are affected. The other options are relevant because they inform about the benefits of recycling and the negative impact that the accumulation of garbage in oceans has, encouraging us to recycle.
