Question

Mr. Tyler’s class is having a discussion about whether sugary drinks should be sold at an upcoming school event. One student says, "Sugary drinks are not nutritious and can cause many health problems."

Which would be an appropriate follow-up question to ask this student?

“Do you have a favorite recipe for fresh fruit smoothies?”
“What are the health problems caused by sugary drinks?”
“Don’t you think alternatives are a lot more expensive?”
“How do you know so much about nutrition?”

Answer 1

“What are the health problems caused by sugary drinks?”

This asks for clarification and evidence to support the student's claim, which is appropriate for a class discussion.
