3. The claims are different and in Text 2 is more valid because it includes more evidence.
4. They are both different claims. They are both supported, effective with good evidence.

Answer 1

To compare the claims in the two texts regarding their validity and effectiveness, we can analyze the options provided:

1. The claims are different. Text 1 is more valid and effective because it includes stronger evidence than 2. - This option suggests that Text 1 is superior based on the evidence presented, but does not specify the evidence in both texts.

2. The claims are the same. They are both supported, effective with good evidence. - This option implies that both texts share the same claim, but this may not be accurate since one talks about edible cutlery while the other mentions a ban on single-use plastics.

3. The claims are different and in Text 2 is more valid because it includes more evidence. - This option posits that Text 2 is superior because of the evidence it provides, which isn’t clearly indicated without analyzing both texts in detail.

4. They are both different claims. They are both supported, effective with good evidence. - This option recognizes that both texts make different claims but that they are both well-supported.

Given these evaluations, option 4 seems to be the most balanced and accurate choice as it indicates the differences in claims while acknowledging that both texts may be effective and well-supported in their own right.
