Answer:
Claim: Recycling is important, because it helps protect the Earth.
Reason: For example, recycling paper helps save trees.
Evidence: According to the Green Center, recycling one ton of paper helps save seventeen trees.
Explanation:
First, let's define these words: claim, reason, and evidence.
Claim: Claims are what you believe to be true, and you use reasons and evidence to prove to others that it is true, and convince them to do things that go along with your claim. For example: "James Harden is the best player currently in the NBA."
Reason: Reasons are meanings to do something. Because of this, you should do that. For example: "James Harden scores a lot of points, so he is the best player in the NBA."
Evidence: Evidence is just like reason, but it uses sources with statistics and facts to justify the claim. For example: "According to NBA Advanced Stats, James Harden has the most points per game with an average of 34.4 points per game." NBA Advanced Stats is the source, where you get your information. When you see "according to" or "based on" and then a name of a company or person, it is usually evidence.
Now, look back at the passage. What are they trying to prove? What are they giving reasons and evidence to support? "Recycling is important, because it helps protect the Earth." Now, what is a reason that they put in? "For example, recycling paper helps save trees." OK, now what is some evidence that they put in? "According to the Green Center, recycling one ton of paper helps save seventeen trees." Green Center is the source.
