Question

\they had been there three days, most of them had eaten up all the provisions they had and looked haggard and emaciated, veritable famine victims such as one sees in pictures or a scene in india.\

\among the hundred people there were not half a dozen tents, and the half-dozen were improvised and of the flimsiest character. most of the people were lying out in the open day and night many of them without even blankets or quilts.\

\the committee knows that there are 180,000 refugees still in the caucasus besides 30,000 who have died there, and 70,000 who have returned to parts of turkey and persia.\

Explanation:

Analyze the core claim

The central idea is that people in other countries were aware of the scope of the violence during the Armenian genocide. We need to find evidence showing international awareness of the scale of the events.

Evaluate the first option

"They had been there three days..." describes the physical condition of the victims. It does not show international awareness or communication.

Evaluate the second option

"Among the hundred people there..." describes the poor living conditions and lack of shelter. It does not mention foreign observers or international awareness.

Evaluate the third option

"A large part of the statement is taken up with a letter received by the American Committee from a missionary stationed in Konia." This directly shows communication from a foreign observer (a missionary) to an international organization (the American Committee), demonstrating international awareness.

Evaluate the fourth option

"The committee knows that there are 180,000 refugees..." mentions numbers known by a committee, but does not specify international transmission or foreign awareness as clearly as the third option, which explicitly links a foreign missionary to an American committee.

Select the best evidence

The third option provides the strongest, most direct evidence of international awareness and reporting of the genocide's scope.
