Then answer the questions.  \nTranscript: Class presentation-Aanya on bottled water vs. tap water  \nToday I'm going to compare bottled water and tap water using three different sources. The first source is a CHART from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) showing the average cost per gallon of bottled water versus tap water in 2023. According to the chart, bottled water costs about $9.50 per gallon, while tap water costs less than a single cent per gallon-that is more than a thousand times the price.  \nThe second source is a 30-second VIDEO CLIP from a city water-treatment plant. The clip shows river water flowing through three stages: large filters that remove leaves and debris, smaller filters that catch fine particles, and a treatment tank where the water is disinfected. The video doesn't include numbers, but it makes the cleaning process easy to see in a way that a paragraph couldn't.  \nThe third source is an AUDIO INTERVIEW with Dr. Reyes, a public-health researcher. Dr. Reyes explains that in most U.S. cities, tap water is tested for safety more often than bottled water is sometimes hundreds of times a day. Her tone is calm and matter-of-fact, but you can hear her emphasize the word 'tested' each time she says it.  \nEach source teaches us something different. The chart gives us numbers, the video shows us a process, and the interview adds an expert's voice. Putting them together, I argue that tap water in most U.S. cities is cheaper, frequently tested, and produced by a process you can actually see-three things bottled water cannot equally claim.  \nPART 2—PRACTICE  \nRead the transcript and the description of the embedded chart/video clip.
