Read the paragraphs below. How does the point of view impact what the reader learns about the use of sunscreen?
Our Earth’s ozone layer is thinning and allowing more harmful UV rays into our atmosphere. The sun’s rays carry heat and light that may be beneficial to our Earth, but they are harmful to our skin.

The reader learns how to prevent the sun from damaging their skin.
The reader learns how harmful UV rays are formed.
The reader learns different ways to protect themselves against the sun's harmful rays.
What evidence in the passage below best supports the author's view that plastic bags should be banned? Choose all that apply.
Many cities across America are considering banning plastic bags at grocery stores. Supporters of these “bag bans” argue that plastic bags are using up our oil supply, filling the landfills, and polluting our environment.
Plastic bags are made from petroleum products, which come from oil. It takes more than 12 million barrels of oil to create the plastic bags that are used in the United States each year. Oil is a non-renewable resource, meaning it is going to run out one day. As our oil supplies are depleting, we cannot afford to use any more than we have to. Although many plastic bags are recyclable, most people use them as a consumable product, meaning they end up throwing them away. So, a majority of the 100 billion plastic bags that are used by Americans each year end up in landfills. Plastic can take 1,000 years to decompose, overfilling our landfills.
