What part of the essay do the following sentences most likely represent? another reason for conserving water is to save money. as this resource becomes scarcer, demand will drive prices higher and higher. taking water-saving measures, such as replacing exotic landscape plants with drought-tolerant natives, will save you money in the long run. a. support b. conclusion c. thesis d. introduction

this part of the essay is clearly adding support ideas to the thesis statement, which is not present but can be enferred from the supporting ideas.

All of the sentences are overtly supporting the same idea, "conserving water saves money", but the stronger expressions are these:

Another reason for conserving water is to save money.

demand will drive prices higher and higher.

will save you money in the long run.

So the final answer is:

A. Support

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.
