Question

Read the paragraph.

Water is an important resource that people take for granted. A typical American household uses one hundred gallons of water a day.

If added at the end, which sentence would complete the paragraph by connecting back to the topic?

The average American household spends over $500 a year on water.
With a little effort, people could easily protect this resource by conserving it.
Another resource that people should think about protecting is energy.
Since seventy percent of the Earth is covered by water, there is a lot of water around.

Answer 1

"With a little effort, people could easily protect this resource by conserving it."

This sentence directly ties back to the topic (water as an important resource taken for granted) and offers a relevant concluding point—how people can respond.
