Which of the following would be an acceptable explanation sentence to insert into this paragraph about why paper money should be eliminated?
There is an argument brewing about whether paper money should be eliminated. Critics argue that people want to eliminate paper money because it is costly for the US government to produce. The text states, "coins and notes are money, but also cost money to print and circulate," ("Four Reasons to Get Rid of Paper Money"). _____________.
For example, the government has to spend money to make money and therefore isn't really helping taxpayers in the country.
It is cheaper for the government.
This shows that paper money is dirty.
As a result, paper money would cost the government less to print and circulate.
Which explanation below best fits this claim and evidence?
Claim: Taylor Bisbee became a hero overnight for her quick thinking.
Evidence: "The day after Paris’s collapse was strange for Taylor. Overnight, she had gone from being the shy new girl to being called a hero."

This proves that the split second decision making of Taylor saved her teammate's life and caused her to become well known for knowing how to administer CPR at such a young age.
