The author should add, "Manufacturers cannot lawfully label their products organic without proof," after A. sentence 13. B. sentence 9. C. sentence 6. D. sentence 3.

Buyer Beware!
(1) Grocery shoppers coast their carts through aisles of food with various labels such as “gluten free,” “cage free” “no antibiotics” “grass fed,” “no MSGs,” and so forth. (2) All this labeling can be overwhelming. (3) This is why so many people scratch their heads as they try to figure out the difference between natural and organic products. (4) However, these terms don't have to be confusing.
(5) Organic means that the ingredients a manufacturer uses to make products are processed using organic farming methods. (6) Farmers use minimal pesticides and no synthetic fertilizer. (7) Therefore, farmers who use organic methods to grow their crops must have their farms inspected by the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
(8) Natural foods, on the other hand, are foods that should be minimally processed. (9) They are free of additives, which include preservatives to prolong shelf life and artificial ingredients.
(10) Authentic natural products made with organic ingredients would be best for people and the environment. (11) However, this is rarely the case. (12) Although peanut butter may be made naturally, the peanuts may not have been grown organically. (13) Organic peanut butter may contain organically-grown peanuts, but the peanuts could have been severely processed when the manufacturer made the peanut butter.
(14) Other than meat and poultry products, no laws regulate use of the term “natural.” (15) So-called natural product manufacturers often try to deceive consumers into thinking they are purchasing a healthful product. (16) To determine whether or not a product really is natural, consumers should read the ingredients label. (17) If it lists ingredients that sound like they were made in a lab, the product probably isn’t as natural as most consumers are led to believe. (18) Aspartame is an artificial sweetener made in labs. (19) Some manufacturers argue that their products are natural because the lab-made additives and preservatives originate from natural ingredients.

The answer is (C) sentence 6. It makes the most sense:

Farmers use minimal pesticides and no synthetic fertilizer. Manufacturers cannot lawfully label their products organic without proof. Therefor, farmers who use organic methods to grow their crops must have their farms inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Hope this helps!!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader
