Which claim in the passage is made WITHOUT the author providing evidence to
support it?
The metric system uses prefixes to define

Time to Go Metric
Did you know that the United States is the
only industrialized country in the world
that uses the "Imperial system" of
weights and measures? This system is
complicated and confusing because it
uses one framework to measure length,
second framework to measure
temperature, and a third framework to
measure weight. The United States has
been considering converting to the
metric system since the 1970s. This would
make sense because the metric system
is simpler to use than our current system.
The U. S. system of measurement is more
complicated than the metric system.
People have trouble changing measurements
between the metric and U. S. systems,
People only have to work in multiples of ten
when using the metric system.
