The student would need to address status quo bias in order to support the claim about installing low-flow showerheads. Status quo bias is the preference for the current state of affairs and the resistance to change, which could make people hesitant to adopt new practices like using low-flow showerheads despite the potential benefits.
A)
Use the passage to answer the question.
Within three years, two-thirds of the world’s population is expected to face water scarcity.
Since showering accounts for nearly one-fifth of all residential water use, one way that we
all can help to mitigate this problem is by installing low-flow showerheads. While the
decreased flow can be something that requires acclimating to, anyone will agree that
saving nearly 50 percent off your water bill—as well as saving the planet—is a welcomed
change.
