Answer 1

## Step 1Hedging in language is a way to express uncertainty or to soften a statement. It is often used in situations where the speaker wants to convey a degree of uncertainty or to avoid making a definitive claim. ## Step 2Looking at the options, we need to identify which sentence uses hedging. ## Step 3Option A, "It is certain that transitioning to an organic diet will positively affect a person's dental health," is a definitive statement and does not express any uncertainty. ## Step 4Option B, "Data show no correlation between dental health and an organic diet," is a factual statement based on data and does not express any uncertainty. ## Step 5Option C, "Regardless of the opinion of naturopaths, having an organic diet is unlikely to affect your dental health," uses the phrase "is unlikely to," which is a hedging phrase. This phrase indicates that the speaker is not certain about the effect of an organic diet on dental health, but they believe it is unlikely.
