Read the excerpt from Catching Sun Rays 1. Governments and power companies know that solar power is good, so they are also building big solar power plants to keep up demand. 2. The best place to do that is the Mojave Desert, which covers parts of Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah. 3. The area gets twice as much sunlight as other parts of the United States. 4. The Mojave is home to the largest solar power installation on the world. Which sentence best supports the author's claim that the best place to build solar power plants is the Mojave Desert?

3. The area gets twice as much sunlight as other parts of the United States.

Explanation:

The third option justifies why the best place to build solar power plants is the Mojave Desert, so this is the phrase that best supports the author's claim.

Mojave Desert (in English: Mojave Desert) is an arid and driest desert in North America. It is located in the southwestern United States, mainly in southeastern California and southern Nevada, and occupies a total of 124,000 square kilometers, but very small areas also extend to Utah and Arizona. Its boundaries are generally observed by the presence of Joshua trees, which are native only to the desert and are considered an indicator species. The region receives twice as much sunlight as other parts of the United States and for that reason is a great place to build solar power plants.
