Water Waste — Most Effective Claim
Lesson 5 of 14
About this lesson
A teacher claims that fixing leaking taps is the most effective way to reduce water waste at home. 'Most effective' is the critical phrase — you need a statement that explains why this method beats all other methods. Option C (leaking taps are the biggest source of waste) fills that gap directly. Options B and A are common traps: easy ≠ most effective, and scale of the problem ≠ best solution.
