Since more popcorn is sold than any other snack food it must be America's favorite popcorn is America's favorite snack food and three to five sentences explain which statement is a claim which is a reason and which is evidence and in which order the statement should appear in the paragraph
In order to identify which statement is a claim, reason, and evidence, let's examine the given statements:
1. "Since more popcorn is sold than any other snack food, it must be America's favorite."
2. "Popcorn is America's favorite snack food."
In this case, statement 1 is the claim because it presents an assertion that popcorn is America's favorite snack food based on the fact that it is sold more than any other snack food. Statement 1 is the reason because it provides the logical justification for the claim. Finally, statement 2 is the evidence as it directly states that popcorn is America's favorite snack food.
In terms of order, the paragraph should start with statement 1 (claim), followed by statement 2 (evidence), and then provide further elaboration or support if needed.
